Frequently Asked Questions

Which fabric is best for festive wear?

Cotton and tissue for daytime rituals, chiffon for evening functions. All three are lighter than traditional silk and easier to wear through a long day.

What are the latest festive saree trends?

Many women now choose lighter festive sarees: tissue, chiffon and cotton with zari or embroidery in place of heavy weaves. Purple, yellow and pastel pink are popular for day festivals, with red and gold still leading in the evenings.

What colour saree for a puja?

Red, yellow and off white with gold borders are the most traditional. Deeper shades suit evening celebrations.

Are black sarees appropriate for festivals?

Increasingly yes, particularly for evening functions and receptions, though some families still prefer brighter colours for daytime rituals.

Are cotton sarees appropriate for festivals?

Yes, particularly with a zari border. Cotton with gold detail reads as festive without the weight of a worked saree.

What is the best saree colour for Karwa Chauth?

Red and maroon are the most traditional. Vintage Wine, a maroon and red hand embroidered chiffon at ₹3,499, and True Garnet, a plain red mul modal at ₹1,899, are light enough to wear through the fast.

What should I wear for Onam?

The traditional Onam look is an off white saree with a gold border, the kasavu. Our Onam saree guide covers kasavu and set sarees, blouse colours and jewellery.

Do you have sarees for Durga Puja?

Yes. Kamakshi, white mul cotton with a red border and gold zari at ₹1,799, and Devi, white mul cotton with gold and red detailing at ₹1,999, give you the laal paar look in a light fabric for pandal hopping.

Which saree is good for Diwali puja?

For the evening Lakshmi puja, a saree with some shine: Silver in handloom linen tissue at ₹4,299 or Miss Earth in cotton tissue at ₹3,499. For the day, a mul cotton with zari stripes from ₹2,099. Keep the pallu pinned and away from diyas.

Can I buy festive sarees online with free shipping?

Yes. Shipping is free within India on orders of ₹1,999 and above, cash on delivery is available, and you can return or exchange within 7 days. We also ship internationally.

Which cotton sarees work for festivals?

Mul cotton with zari stripes, such as Saaz, Saanjh, Manjari and Siyaahi at ₹2,199 to ₹2,299, or embroidered mul cotton such as Aisha at ₹2,999. Plain mul cotton works too with a gold blouse.

What should I wear for Ganesh Chaturthi?

Many families choose bright colours such as yellow, red, green and orange. A mul cotton with zari is comfortable for a long day of visits and aarti; switch to chiffon for an evening gathering.

What saree should I wear for Sankranti or Pongal?

In Maharashtra, black is traditional for Makar Sankranti; Saanjh, a black striped mul cotton with zari at ₹2,299, suits it. For Pongal, many families choose bright cotton with a border. Our Sankranti saree guide covers each region.

Festive Sarees for Every Celebration

A festive saree should carry the occasion without carrying weight. The ones that work best add one festive detail, such as zari, embroidery or a soft sheen, to a fabric light enough for a full day of rituals, visits and family gatherings. Our festive edit is built on lightweight mul cotton, fluid chiffon and tissue with a natural sheen, with handloom linen and Dhakai jamdani for more formal days. Prices run from ₹1,799 for a mul cotton with zari to ₹5,599 for a hand embroidered chiffon. Below: picks for each festival, the colours families reach for, how to choose between day and evening fabrics, and how to style and care for them.

Wedding Functions

Our wedding sarees edit covers guests across the whole week, with Mehendi and Haldi for the pre wedding days, and reception and party wear carrying into the evenings.

Festive Colours

Red and gold remain the most traditional, while yellow suits daytime rituals and green carries through Mehendi and puja alike.

Mauve Kiss is a festive pink in embroidered mul cotton with zari at ₹3,499. Vintage Orange brings orange hand embroidered chiffon to a mehendi or a Diwali evening at ₹3,499. Lilac Bloom, a lavender Dhakai jamdani, and Naples, a yellow one, are ₹4,999 each and suit formal pujas. For evening celebrations, black works with a gold blouse; some families still prefer brighter colours for daytime rituals.

Day Rituals or Evening Celebrations?

For a morning puja or a long day of visits, choose cotton. Mul cotton breathes, sits comfortably while you sit on the floor or stand at a pandal, and a zari stripe or border is enough to make it festive. For an evening, choose chiffon or tissue. Chiffon falls softly and moves well in a crowd; tissue has a quiet shine that picks up lamp and diya light. Handloom linen with a zari border sits between the two: crisp enough for a formal puja, light enough for a warm afternoon.

Fabrics with a Festive Finish

Mul cotton with zari stripes: Beige, Emerald, Siyaahi, Saaz, Saanjh and Manjari, from ₹2,099 to ₹2,299. Our zari edit has more.

Embroidered mul cotton: Aisha in yellow at ₹2,999 and Mauve Kiss in pink at ₹3,499. See our embroidered sarees.

Tissue and linen: Silver and Miss Earth in tissue, and Main Event and The Go to in handloom linen with zari borders at ₹4,299.

Jamdani and chiffon: Naples and Lilac Bloom in Dhakai jamdani, and Vintage Wine, Vintage Orange and Florise among our hand embroidered chiffon sarees.

Cotton with gold detail reads as festive without the weight of a worked saree. For daily puja through the festive season, our cotton sarees add easy everyday options.

How to Style a Festive Saree

Blouse: a gold or contrast blouse lifts a cotton saree; with zari, echo the zari colour. Mul cotton sarees come without a blouse piece; mul modal comes with a 1 m running blouse piece, linen with a 1 m blouse piece and chiffon with a 1 m crepe blouse piece. Our blouse design guide has ideas by colour.

Jewellery: gold or temple jewellery with zari and tissue, jhumkas with cotton, and one statement piece with a printed chiffon.

Drape: zari, tissue and embroidered sarees should be pre pleated, folded and pinned the night before with nothing sewn. Tuck the pleats in at the navel facing left and pin the pallu, and keep it well away from diyas and lamps.

Fabric and Care

Every saree is 5.5 m long and 45 inches wide, and we do not add fall or pico. Zari, tissue, embroidered, jamdani, chiffon and linen sarees should be dry cleaned. Plain mul cotton and mul modal take a gentle cold hand wash. Store zari sarees folded in a soft cotton cloth and refold them now and then so the creases do not set. Our washing guide covers the details.
