Expressing strong resentment over reports that the handloom exhibition, being organised at Janata Maidan in Bhubaneswar, failed to mention Sambalpuri sarees and the traditional Bandha art in the Odisha handloom map, Pujari said the omission had deeply hurt the sentiments of people of Western Odisha, who take pride in their language, art and culture.
