Lightweight Jamdani, rich Baluchari, and fancy silk and cotton handlooms are other popular options.
Which Pandal-Hopping Look Should You Select To Wear To Durga Puja?

What Should You Do With Durga Pooja Sarees In Order To Dress It Up?
A saree is a universal item and can be worn in any way possible. To create a saree Durga Puja of your own, you should pay attention to the details.
-
Blouse: Don't wear the traditional one. Test out another color (or pattern), or another cut, or a backless one. Even a simple saree can be made outstanding with a well-tailored blouse.
-
Jewelry: One of the traditional appearances of a Durga Puja is large stone gold jewelry. Nevertheless, you may also choose oxidized silver, temple jewelry, or even contemporary and minimalistic jewelry.
-
Hair and Makeup: A traditional bun or a braid with flowers such as jasmine or marigold contributes to the classic appeal. On makeup, it would be a bright red lip and a smoky eye. Remember the bindi; the bindi is the last thing that makes the look complete.
-
Draping Style: You do not necessarily have to use the traditional style (Athpourey). Try out a pleated modern drape or a local style to give your saree a Durga Puja look an extra touch.
