MAHIAANNU SILKS is a heritage brand rooted in the temple city of Odisha, Bhubaneswar, founded in the whole-hearted memory of Shri Mahendra Kumar Dash, Shrimati Annapurna Tripathy. The brand was established by three visionary women: Shrimati Archana Dash, Shrimati Shikha Mishra, and Shrimati Suparva Dash on February 10 2019 with the divine blessings of Lord Jagnnath. Our organisation celebrated the rich tradition of India, blending artistry and innovation while empowering local artisans and promoting the timeless beauty of silk weaving.
Our StoryOur handloom organisation is a heartfelt tribute to our mother's memory, who adored the artistry and the timeless beauty of handwoven fabrics. Growing up, we have watched her cherish every saree, each one whispering a unique story through its delicate patterns and rich textures. To her, every saree was more than just a piece of clothing— it was a reflection of history, culture, and tradition.
Inspired by her love for these timeless creations, our organisation aims to preserve and promote the beauty of handloom sarees, dresses, dupattas, and fabrics that honor the tradition and craftsmanship passed down through generations.
This store was created with deep love and in the tender memory of our father, Shri Mahendra Kumar Dash, and our mother, Shrimati Annapurna Tripathy. Though they are no longer with us, their presence feels like a gentle embrace that surrounds us each day. We feel their spirit in the memories they left behind, the lessons they taught us, and the strength of their unwavering love. It fills us with pride to know that they are watching over us, quietly proud of what we’ve built in their honor. Their enduring spirit continues to guide and inspire us, reminding us that their legacy lives on in everything we do. We carry their wisdom, kindness, and support in our hearts, and with every step we take, we feel their pride in the path we’ve chosen. Their love continues to guide us, watching over us with warmth and grace, as we strive to honor their legacy in all that we do
Our sarees are not just garments; they are a connection to our history, a celebration of our roots, and a reflection of the culture that has shaped us. Each thread, each pattern, tells a story of tradition and craftsmanship passed down through generations. While we remain faithful to the traditional weaving techniques that have stood the test of time, we also recognize the growing interest from the younger generation. Today’s youth, eager to reconnect with their cultural heritage, are increasingly drawn to the uniqueness and authenticity of handloom, seeing it as a symbol of timeless elegance, a gateway to aesthetic beauty, and a source of cultural pride.
Our aim is to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity, offering an accessible yet deeply meaningful connection to the past while embracing the vibrant energy of the present. Through our handloom, we empower today’s youth, giving them a platform to express themselves and a chance to shine even brighter. With each saree, we weave not only fabric but a stronger bond with our culture, encouraging the youth to celebrate their heritage and make it their own.
Our handlooms are living evidence of our rich cultural history and deep roots. Each piece is crafted with care, reflecting the heritage of our land, and designed to embody both elegance and purpose. We offer a curated collection that resonates with our heritage, ensuring that the roots of our culture continue to bloom while meeting the tastes of today’s fashion-conscious customers.
