Frequently Asked Questions

When is Durga Puja in 2026?

Durga Puja 2026 begins with Maha Shashthi on Saturday, 17 October, followed by Saptami on 18 October, Maha Ashtami on Monday, 19 October, Navami on 20 October and Bijoya Dashami, the day of Sindoor Khela, on Wednesday, 21 October. These are the West Bengal dates. Order a little ahead so your saree arrives before Shashthi.

What is a laal paar saree?

A white saree with a red border, the traditional Bengali choice for Durga Puja.

Do you have Bengali style sarees in cotton?

Yes, we specialize in Cotton sarees for Durga Puja that feature the classic Bengali red and white combination. Our Mul Cotton and Linen variants are perfect for the humid Pujo weather.

What should I wear for Sindoor Khela?

For Sindoor Khela, wear a Red Saree or a White saree with a broad red border. We recommend our Linen or Cotton collections as they are comfortable and easier to clean after the color play.

Are your sarees suitable for Pandal Hopping?

Absolutely. Our Durga Puja collection is curated with lightweight fabrics like muslin jamdani, mul cotton and handloom linen, ensuring you stay comfortable while walking from one pandal to another.

What are the latest festive saree trends?

The latest trends focus on lightweight grandeur. Women are choosing breathable handloom sarees like muslin jamdani, mul cotton with zari borders and cotton tissue with a soft sheen over heavy traditional drapes. Classic red and white stays the favourite, with purple, yellow and pastel pink trending for day festivities.

Which red saree is best for Durga Puja?

A white saree with red, such as Devi, for Ashtami and Sindoor Khela, and deep red or maroon, such as True Garnet or Main Event, for the evenings.

What should I wear on Maha Ashtami?

A traditional red and white saree or a Dhakai jamdani, with a red blouse, shakha pola, gold jhumkas and a red bindi. Maha Ashtami falls on Monday 19 October 2026.

Durga Puja 2026 runs from Maha Shashthi on Saturday, 17 October to Bijoya Dashami on Wednesday, 21 October, with Maha Ashtami on Monday, 19 October. Our Durga Puja sarees bring together the white saree with red border, Dhakai jamdani, deep red handloom linen and mul cotton, for Pushpanjali mornings, pandal hopping and Sindoor Khela.

The Classic Laal Paar

Celebrate the arrival of Ma Durga in the timeless red and white saree. Our handloom mul cotton drapes offer the classic white base with a vibrant red border, so you stay cool through pandal hopping.

The Ashtami Look

For Pushpanjali on Ashtami, a plain light drape with a fine zari border reads as traditional without being heavy. Our Dhakai jamdani sarees, woven in fine muslin with floral motifs in lavender, yellow, green and black, and our other handloom weaves carry the texture that a powerloom saree cannot.

Sindoor Khela and Evening Visits

For Bijoya Dashami and the evening gatherings, deep red is the colour of the day. Our burgundy and wine red handloom linen sarees with zari borders, maroon mul modal sarees and red tissue drapes hold their own through a long evening, and red chiffon stays comfortable when the pandals get crowded.

Red and White Sarees for Durga Puja

The red and white saree is the signature of Durga Puja, worn for Ashtami anjali and Sindoor Khela. Devi is a white mul cotton saree with red and gold detailing, made for Pujo. For a plain base, pair Vanilla Mousse in white mul cotton or The Go To in ivory handloom linen with a red blouse.

For a red saree for Durga Puja, True Garnet in maroon mul modal, Main Event in burgundy handloom linen and After Hours in wine linen carry the evenings.
