The biggest carnival called “Durga Puja” in the City of Joy
is round the corner. With Durga puja barely a month away, the markets, retail
outlets and shopping malls are flooded with new arrivals and intriguing
collection of ethnic and western wear, with eye-catchy designs and festive
offers. Amidst this entire hullabaloo, Indian traditional saris remained
timeless and hot favourite of bong beauties, especially when they are planning
to deck up for this auspicious occasion.
The four days of the festival:
Saptami, Ashtami, Navami and Dashami are celebrated with
utmost glee and unique style. Apart from its age-old traditions and rituals,
Durga Puja also hints on traditional fashion vibes. The Indian traditional silk
saris especially are a visual treat for fashion savvy ladies in the city. Take
a quick view on the ideas presented below to make a classic Puja statement.
Assam silk for daytime rituals on Saptami:
As you hear the call for aartis and anjalis, it’s time for
you to deck up quickly, flock in the pandal or temple and pray to the Goddess
of Shakti. Assam silk saris are timeless creations that can be admired and
adored whenever you drape them. Doll up in a handloom silk sari from Assam to
add zing to the holy rituals at the same time beware of cheap duplicate Assam
silks flooded in the market and go for only the originals which range from Rs.
6000 onwards. Being light weight, you will feel comfortable wearing them. While
Ma Durga is being invoked, bring out your ‘Devi’ avatar in style with a
delicate touch from Assam!
Benarasi handloom for a gorgeous Asthami night:
The enthusiasm multiplies on the Asthami night as the loved
ones, relatives and tourists flock to the city and mingle with the charm of Durgotshav.
The streets dazzle with colourful lights and lanes impress with astounding
pandals. Do not miss the pandal hopping on Asthami night. So, spice up your
look with a royal Benarasi silk sari embellished with detailed zari work and
meenakari. Vibrant colors of the saris perfectly tune up with the festive bash.
The latest in this are ethnic woven Dupion silks and tussars, budget Banswara saris,
sensual nets and classy Katans and so on.
Exclusive Baluchari for a pious Navami:
Dressing in all red or in shades of red is a popular trend
that women in Bengal particularly follow during the auspicious occasions.
Navami is no exception. The sweet aroma of jasmines; swivelling of white Kans
grass in the autumn breeze and the sound of dhak perfectly sets the mood for Navami. This fills hearts with fresh spirit to enjoy one more day to the
fullest. Toast to the traditional way of celebrating the vibrancy of Durga Puja
and dress up in an exclusive Baluchari sari to steal the spotlight. The rich
art and culture reflected through this sari makes you so very bong!
Enjoy party glitz with Katan Silk Saree on Dashami:
Parities, family gatherings, community lunch, famous Bengali Adda – the festive season calls for loads of merry making and fun time. You
would be a part of many such fun moments. So, radiate your feminine charm this
time with an elegant Katan silk woven in quality resham and designed with
golden zari. Traditional white and red Korial silk from Benaras is one such
mush have. For modern women few contemporary master pieces are worth
collecting. The traditional royal touch makes these sari a haute to wear!
Be it a teenager or a woman in her 30s, they want to dress
up like Paro or Parineeta during the festival, take part in puja rituals and
grab the attention of the maddening crowd sweeping across every nook and corner
of Kolkata.
