Pujo Vibe Check!

The countdown to one of the most vibrant times of the year, the one which is eagerly awaited for in every Bengali household around the year, the Durga Pooja festivities, has begun. The ten-day saga is filled with pandal hopping, Pujo food binging, spending time with loved ones and attending processions rife with dhunuchinachh (traditional dance performed by holding an incense burner in the hands)…ohh! don’t we absolutely love it all?!

With each day holding its own significance, the days preceding the festival are busy with not just planning for the festival but also, planning the Pujo closet! Wearing a new outfit each day and checking out who was wearing what, is one of the most exciting parts of the celebration. The festival, after all, celebrates feminity and a significant part of the spirit is, adorning beauty, both within and without. 

While you tinker around this year to plan your Pujo wardrobe, we bring you a hand-picked Durga Pooja collection which is sure to help you nail the vibe! And what makes it more exciting, is the Grand Pujo Sale, with upto 70% discounts on choicest creations. Here are some personal favourites from the collection…
