Edit  





Bhulia is an Indian Hindu caste originally from western Odisha but presently found throughout Odisha .

The Bhulia have a high position with the weaver caste system. They have no sub castes. They are a weaver caste known primarily for their tie-dye fabrics (known as sambalpuri).[1]

Bhulia caste members all use the surname Meher, and are therefore sometimes also referred to as the Meher Tanti (tanti being a generic term for all weaver castes).[1][2][3]

Kapta

edit

Kapata also called "Khan", was a cotton piece good produced in various dimensions. Bhulia weavers were used to weave this cloth. It was a handwoven native cloth primarily used for female clothes such as blouses.[2][4][5]

InKannada language "Kapata is an article of cloth".[6]
