Light up this Diwali like A Diya: A Festive Saree Guide 2024
Diwali, also known as Deepavali- the festival of lights, is one of the most celebrated Hindu festivals in India. It symbolises the triumph of light over darkness, and the victory of good over evil as the entire nation lights up echoing –
“Even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise.”
It signifies hope and also captures the essence of having a sense of belonging. People from various cultures all across the country come together to celebrate this auspicious day. While decorating and lighting up houses with diyas are an integral part of Diwali, so is dressing in traditional attire- and nothing brightens up the room as beautifully as a saree.
The Perfect Festive Sarees for Diwali
Diwali is a festival that embodies light and joy, and what better way to capture this spirit than with the vibrant colours and rich textures of sarees? As you get ready for the celebrations, think about adding these exquisite saree styles to your wardrobe.
1. Satin Silk Sarees
A Satin Silk Saree is the perfect choice for the fashion forward femina who wishes to combine contemporary with chic, whilst also being graceful and traditional. Crafted from satin fabric made of silk or a silk blend (polyester, nylon, viscose or cotton), Satin Silk sarees have an extremely smooth and glossy finish. Due to their incredibly flowy nature, they are very easy to drape, enhancing the silhoutte of the modern woman who embraces her culture with style and elegance.
2. Organza Sarees
As a result of zari interwoven with fine silk, these sarees exude a glimmering shine. The fabric being inherently lustrous, when paired with pastels, appears to be almost iridescent- embodying festivity and elegance, whilst also offering unparalleled comfort. These lightweight beauties allow women to dazzle with grace, mirroring the breathtaking spectacle of Patakhas in the night sky. Perfect for Diwali celebrations, they let you relish every moment of the festive spirit with little to no effort.
3. Banarasi Silk Sarees
Banarasi Silk Sarees are adorned for their regal and intricate zari work inspired by Mughal motifs, and Indian divas have been flaunting it during celebrations for centuries. On a special occasion like Diwali, where the whole country lights up and celebrates the victory of good over evil, skipping on this opportunity to dress up in the sheer luxury of a Banarasi silk saree is a big no no- especially if you wish to stand out in the crowd or have a Deepawali Pooja on the line.
4. Chanderi Silk Sarees
Originating from Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh, India, Chanderi Silk Sarees are known for their sheerness, natural sheen and craftsmanship. Floral or geometric patterns are woven into the fabric in zari, reflecting the exquisite craftsmanship of the artisans and traditions. A Chanderi Silk saree is timelessly classy and graceful, making it suitable for festive wear, be it indoors or outdoors. And if chit chat with friends and family over a cup of tea sounds like your kind of Diwali, a Chanderi saree is the best option as they are breathable and lightweight too!
5. Cotton Sarees
A Cotton Saree is a must have in every Indian woman’s wardrobe. Known for their comfort and breathability, they are the perfect choice for those attending formal gatherings during Diwali. Made of natural cotton fibre threads, they are very comfortable to wear and come in many designs. If you are someone who cherishes regional aesthetics and prefers comfort, a cotton saree is the best option for reflecting your personal style this Diwali.
Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is where the houses are lit up with diyas, the sky with fireworks, and the streets with firecrackers. People from different communities and walks of life gather together to celebrate this day with their loved ones, and Diwali is incomplete without appreciating the good in and around you. And what better way to celebrate yourself other than self expression?
