Five days, five looks — and none of them have to cost a fortune. With Durga Puja 2026 arriving in October, it is the perfect time to plan your outfits so the whole family looks festive without last-minute panic. Here is a simple day-by-day guide, matched to the Vatika Shree collection at Kapra Gali, Purulia.
Sashthi (16 Oct) — The Bodhon Day
The puja opens and pandals begin their evening lights. Keep it easy and elegant: a light cotton or Tant saree, or a comfortable churidar-kurti for a full day of street visits. This is the day for practical fabrics — there will be a lot of walking.
Saptami (17 Oct) — Anjali Morning
The first anjali mornings call for respect and comfort. A white, ecru or pastel saree with a contrasting border is the timeless choice for women; men often wear kurta-pyjama. Our cotton and silk blend sarees are made for exactly this.
Ashtami (18 Oct) — The Grandest Day
The biggest evening of the puja. This is the day to reach for a Banarasi-style saree in deep red, maroon, or gold, or a lehenga with zari detail. Rich colours, festive work — Ashtami is when Purulia truly dresses up, and our festive collection has every shade of it.
Navami (19 Oct) — The Homa Day
Navami usually brings the last big evenings before the farewell. Many families re-wear their Ashtami finery or switch to a second festive saree or lehenga. A georgette saree with a zari border strikes the right balance of festive and graceful.
Vijaya Dashami (20–21 Oct) — Sindoor Khela & Visarjan
Dashami is emotional and full of colour. Married women traditionally wear white and red, or a light festive saree, for Devi Boron and Sindoor Khela. Everyone wants an outfit that is easy to move in and stays beautiful through hugs and tears — light cottons and soft synthetic silks do this best.
Colour Ideas for the Five Days
- Sashthi: soft pastels, greens, light blues
- Saptami: white, ecru, off-white with red or gold borders
- Ashtami: deep red, maroon, royal gold, wine
- Navami: jewel tones — emerald, magenta, burnt orange
- Dashami: white and red for married women; festive prints for everyone
Budget-Friendly Tips from Vatika Shree
- Shop between Mahalaya and Sashthi. Early shoppers get the best of the collection.
- One good festive piece beats five average ones. A single Banarasi-style saree or lehenga can carry Ashtami and Navami both.
- Plan daywear separately. Two light sarees or suits for Sashthi–Saptami keep your rich pieces fresh for the big nights.
- Ask our floor team. We will match your budget to the right fabric and design — honestly, with no pressure, the way Purulia has trusted us since 1998.
