Choosing Dussehra Sarees for Vijayadashami
Dussehra closes the Navratri season marking the victory of good over evil, through rituals and the burning of Ravan's effigy in the evening. Dussehra sarees reflect that mood in bold colours like red, yellow, and orange.
Dussehra sarees rarely need to be understated. The festival's victorious mood calls for something with genuine presence.
Reading the Shade Before You Buy
Bright red and orange work well for daytime puja, while royal blue offers a more formal alternative. Richer, more detailed sarees suit the evening Ravan Dahan gathering.
Styling Dussehra Sarees
For morning puja, bright red or orange with gold jewellery. For evening Ravan Dahan gatherings, a richer saree with more detailing. For family celebrations, yellow or royal blue offer a change of pace.
Exploring Colour Beyond Dussehra
Red silk saree and orange silk saree offer more options. For the weave, handloom silk saree and tussar silk saree offer different options.
Caring for Your Dussehra Saree After the Festival
Outdoor evening events mean extended time outside. Dry clean promptly, and store away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Choosing Your Dussehra Saree
Kosala's handloom silk sarees carry natural texture and a matte finish that holds up well through a full day of celebration.
