With Navratri and Ram Navami round the corner, poojas and kirtans scheduled, all you ladies must be looking for the perfect festive pooja saree looks. Well, fret no more! Like always The Saree Blog has got you covered. We have curated your pooja saree styles so that all you have to do is get ready and engage in the holy celebrations. Let’s dive in.

1. Choosing the Right Pooja Saree

The first and the foremost thing to keep in mind is the saree fabric. Since the pooja celebration is quite tiring, requires a lot of movement and for the havan you need to be around the holy fire, you should choose a light and breezy fabric to keep you comfortable. Cotton, silk, linen, georgette and organza are the best fabric options. Do not opt for heavy embroidery, it’ll make the celebration a messy affair. Embroidered sarees are heavy enough to restrict movement, also in the summer heat, they’ll only add to your discomfort.

2. Traditional Saree for That Royal Look

Some fabrics make pooja sarees look regal. Here are a few timeless options:

• Silk Sarees: Rich and elegant, perfect for grand pooja ceremonies.
• Cotton Sarees: Light and breathable, great for long ceremonies.
• Chanderi Sarees: A mix of silk and cotton, offering comfort with sheen. Ideal for long poojas.
• Banarasi Sarees: Intricate designs that add grandeur. Opt for a brocade saree with just butis and a thin border. Not too heavy yet royal.
• Georgette And Organza Sarees: Love to add a contemporary touch to your ensemble, go for easy to drape, yet graceful georgette and organza sarees.

3. Saree Colours for The Perfect Pooja Saree Look

Color plays an essential role in festive fashion. Some shades hold special significance in poojas. Although you can opt for a saree in any colour you love for a pooja ritual, yet some colours are considered auspicious. To take that extra leap and add to the pooja aesthetics you can opt pious colours like,

• Red: Represents prosperity and auspiciousness.
• Yellow: A colour of devotion and purity.
• Green: Symbolises new beginnings and harmony.
• White: Represents peace and serenity.
• Pink & Orange: Bright hues that bring vibrance and joy.

4. How to Style A Dupatta with Pooja Saree

In many cultures you are required to cover your head with the pallu during the pooja rituals. Pallu over the head if taken properly looks quite traditional and graceful, but to add a dash of style element, you can style your saree with a dupatta. Stylish and traditional. Remember to take a lightweight dupatta so that it doesn’t feel heavy and cause discomfort. Here’s how to style your dupatta;
