The Ultimate Day Wise Durga Puja Look Book For Pujo 2024

Saptami or Maha Saptami is the seventh day of the 10-day-long Durga Puja. This is when the festive spirit is embraced in its full glory. People usually prefer wearing something in yellow that is lightweight in which they can easily move and stay comfortable. We recommend wearing this saree from Likha, a gold necklace and bangles matched with comfortable footwear, and a fancy potli to tie in the look.

As the night approaches, you want to change into something more flowy and fun and what’s better than a lehenga? This one is made from georgette, which means it’s super lightweight and comfortable to wear. Amp up your look by wearing statement earrings and adding a ring. Your day footwear and bag would match this one as well, which is great! 

Asthami is considered the most important (and fun) day during the Pujo days. That's why it is only fair you wear something traditional, yet stylish. We would recommend wearing a light saree (in line with the traditions as well as comfort), and what better day than Ashtami to go with the traditional Lal-Par combination, which is the typical Bengali red and white saree. We recommend this cotton jamdani saree by SajaSajo, with chunky gold jhumkas and a cute potli. You can also wear this outfit for sindur khela during Vijaydashami.

Ashtami night is the time to go all out (we know we do). On ashtami night, the pandals are open super late, they have the best performances lined up and it is the day for dhunuchi! For Ashtami, we recommend a heavy silk saree in a warm royal colour. This pink patola saree by Kalki Fashion is sure to steal the show. Pair it with gold danglers, a statement ring, a pair of heels and you're set! You can also wear the silk version of the Lal-Par saree if you want the full traditional look and are only stepping out at night. 

In North India, on either Ashtami or Navami most households have ‘Kanya Pooja’, where kids—representing Goddess Durga are invited for a meal, treats, and gifts. For that, during the day, something comfortable yet chic is recommended, as after that people perform pooja, and finally break their nine-day-long fast. This printed round-neck kurta set from Label Ritu Kumar is the perfect amalgamation of functionality and style, plus it's made out of pure cotton (extremely breathable). A great fit to run around in. You can bring together the entire look with a pair of jhumkis and block heels.

Whatever your plans for Navami night might be, whether its visiting a pandal, going to a temple, or watching live dramatisations of Ramayana, this linen-zari saree from Suta will work beautifully across locations and plans. Its zari work gives it a subtle shimmer without being too blingy, making it perfect for a festive night out.

Vijaydashami is the tenth day, where one tends to gravitate towards ethnic wear mostly. You’ll mostly spot a bunch of heavy suits, bangle sets, and traditional jewellery on the day of. We suggest keeping it low-key but #extra with this stunning suit by Likha. The suit comes in about seven colours all in the same silhouette but different embroidery, which means you have tons of options, and can buy more than one! Pair this with traditional-looking heels or juttis, along with some jhumkas, and you’ll be good to go.
