From the intricate rituals of Pujo to the high-energy Garba nights, this calendar helps you choose an outfit that suits every occasion. You can mix classic elegance with trendy flair without worrying about repeating the same outfit, and ensure that each outfit resonates with the festive colors of the day.
Day 1 – Bengali Saree (Pujo Special)
On the first day, nothing sets the tone better than a traditional white and red-bordered Bengali saree as your dress. Perfect for aartis, bhog, and sindoor moments, this timeless outfit never goes out of style.

Add a bold red bindi and subtle kohl-lined eyes to highlight your facial features.
