Durga Puja Sarees: Choosing the Perfect Pandal-Hopping Look

Durga Puja is not only a festival, but an emotion. It is an art and culture party and, above all, good over evil. When Kolkata city illuminates, it illuminates the spirits of millions. To every Bengali (and in fact, every person who ever joins in a big festival), wearing a costume is just part of it. Filled with the dhak, the incense smell, and the spectacular sight of people in their celebratory best, the air is on fire.

Selection of the appropriate Durga Puja saree is a sacred rite. It is not only about a piece of fabric but also about the decision to wear something that shows what you personally wear, but also respects the spirit of the festival. You are either an admirer of classic weaves or a bohemian fashion designer, but either way, there is an ideal Durga Puja appearance. You will find this guide useful in navigating the world of Bengali Durga Puja sarees and selecting one that will make you look both pretty and celebratory.

What are Bengali Durga Puja Sarees?

A Bengali Durga Puja saree is a bright representative of the rich weaving culture of the area. Although a plethora of sarees are donned, some styles are particularly popular during the celebrations, chief among them being the traditional white or off-white saree with a bright red edging, the color red being a sign of purity and good fortune. 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?

Pandal-hopping is a 24-hour (24-night) event, and therefore, comfort holds equal importance to fashion. To look traditional in a lightweight cotton sarees or handloom saree it is best to choose a typical Ashtami morning prayers outfit. You can then have something livelier and more playful when you are going out in the daytime, and something more expensive, such as silk or Baluchari, in the evening. Keep in mind that it is important to be comfortable, as you will be walking and standng a lot.

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.
