Durga Puja Navaratri Look 2018: Draping the Traditional Red and White with an Angrakha

After a chic Saptami style plan which we told you here, lets make sure that you can make onlookers astounded with your grand Ashtami avatar. Durga Ashtami as always is the most special day of the Navratri or 9 days of Durga Puja. Like most years our Ashtami mornings starts with the Sanskrit hymns of pushpanjali to the Devi, then as the day passes the divine sounds of uludhwani, shankh creates a divine ambience for the commencement of the Kumari Puja or the worship of little girls as the mother goddess .To wrap it up the Ashtami ends with the very special Sandhi Puja. So its obvious that the fun and fervor gets more intense during the Ashtami and this post today is all about this stunning Ashtami look.

The Bong Mania Overloaded's festive fashion tone started with a graceful traditional Baluchari for Saptami. But for Ashtami, the attire and the attitude will indeed get more dramatic yet traditional. A red and white saree is quintessential to the puja for a Bong, but didnt want to take the most conventional route. So for this special day, I have put on a gold and red  kanjeevaram silk saree with a rich red pallu.. This saree came with a matching red blouse. But I decided to play with the festive mood and thus, paired it with this black and green angrakha that rounded out this look so well.

With my hair in a large bun adorned and accessorized with bride orange faux marigold, I finished out the look with a batua, a pair of statement earrings and a pearl nathni. The nathni accentuated the drama in the attire and gave the perfect glamor. Briht red lips and hint o green in the eyes and bindi was just what was needed for putting the whole look together.

This puja forget the conventional and style your sarees in ways unknown and discover your own style statement.
