Durga Puja Fashion: If you're wearing a Bengali-style sari for Durga Puja, try these 5 tips to enhance your look..

The festival of Durga Puja (Durga Puja 2025) is not only a festival of faith and devotion, but also a wonderful experience rooted in the traditions and culture of Bengal. Durga Puja is celebrated not only in Bengal but also in many cities across the country, where women choose to wear Bengali-style sarees.

The vibrant red and white saree, the large bindi, the conch shell, and the beautiful design of the pallu—all these make the festival even more special. If you too want to wear a Bengali-style saree this Durga Puja, the five tips (Bengali Style Saree Tips) given here will prove to be extremely helpful.

Choose the Right Saree
Wearing a Bengali-style saree starts with choosing the right saree. Traditionally, a white or off-white base saree with a red border is considered the most preferred during Durga Puja. Cotton, silk, or tassel sarees are perfect for the Bengali look. These sarees are not only comfortable but also easy to wear throughout the day of puja and pandal visits.

Adopt the Bengali Draping Style
The true charm of wearing a Bengali sari lies in its draping style. The pallu is kept wide and draped gracefully over the shoulders. Some women twist the pallu over the top of their hair, making their look even more traditional. When draping, ensure that the pleats are well-set and the pallu does not appear too heavy.

Round Red Bindi and Sindoor
The Bengali look is characterized by a large, round red bindi. It complements your overall makeup for festivals. If you are married, applying dots of sindoor on your forehead and parting will enhance your look. A red or dark pink bindi looks great with this look.

Pay Attention to Jewelry
To enhance the Bengali style, it's best to wear a golden jewelry set. Large earrings, bangles, and necklaces will add a royal touch to your sari. If you don't want a heavy look, just a few large earrings and bangles are enough.

Pay attention to your hairstyle and makeup.
For a hairstyle, you can make a bun and decorate it with jasmine flowers or red and white flowers. If you want, you can also enhance the beauty by adding a hairpin to the hair bun. For makeup, red lipstick and light eye makeup are enough. Make sure your makeup complements your saree.
