Durga Puja: Saptami Special Bengal Silk Saris

Durga Saptami should be a day for traditional Bengal Silk Saris. Check how.

Durga Maha Saptami falls just in the middle of the Durga Puja Week. As Saptami comes, Bengalis get a feel of the culture and tradition; hence, we would prefer them to go in traditional attires.

As it is also a day when Bengalis carry on their pandal hoppings, we would prefer light weighted yet traditional saris to be worn. Silk saris are the best option for the day and Bengal itself is a hub of so many kinds of silk fabrics.

Here are the types of silk saris from and around Bengal which you can try on your Durga Saptami Puja celebration.
