Across India, married women celebrate festivals dedicated to the wellbeing of their husbands and families. Dressing up in a beautiful saree is a cherished part of these traditions.
Savitri Brata (Odisha)
Savitri Brata honours the legend of Savitri and Satyavan. Married women in Odisha observe the fast, perform puja and dress in new sarees. Traditional choices include:
- Red, yellow or orange silk sarees
- Sambalpuri or Khandua silks with temple borders
- Sindoor, alta and traditional jewellery to complete the look
Karwa Chauth
Celebrated widely in north India, Karwa Chauth calls for festive, bridal-inspired looks. Red, maroon, pink and gold-toned silks are popular. A rich handloom silk from Odisha makes a unique choice that stands out.
Teej
Teej celebrates the monsoon and is associated with the colour green. Green and yellow sarees, light silks and cottons with floral motifs suit this joyful festival.
Styling Tips
- Choose a saree you can sit comfortably in for long pujas.
- Pair with bangles, a bindi and traditional jewellery.
- Get your blouse stitched in advance – festival weeks are busy for tailors!
- Consider coordinating with your husband's kurta for photos.
A Meaningful Gift
Many husbands and families gift a new saree for these festivals. A handloom saree carries extra meaning as it supports weaving families.
