Dussehra (Vijayadashami) falls on Tuesday, 20 October 2026. It is the day we celebrate the victory of good over evil – with Ravan Dahan, Shastra Puja, Durga visarjan and lots of sweets shared with family and neighbours. If you want a new saree for the day, please order by Tuesday, 13 October, because delivery takes 5–7 days.
This year, why not skip the usual red and yellow and go royal? Deep blue, purple and wine are colours of strength and grace, and they look rich in the evening light at the Ravan Dahan ground or the pandal. All six sarees below are under ₹1,100.
Why royal colours work so well for Dussehra
Dussehra celebrations usually stretch from morning puja to evening melas and late-night family visits. Dark jewel shades like navy, royal blue, purple and wine are a smart choice for this kind of long day:
- They look festive without being too bright. Gold and copper zari shines beautifully on a deep base colour.
- They hide small stains. Kumkum, haldi or a drop of ghee from the prasad is much less visible on a dark saree.
- They suit many skin tones. Blues and purples usually look lovely on wheatish, dusky and fair skin.
- They photograph well at night. Under fairy lights and fireworks, deep colours keep their richness instead of looking washed out.
Picking the right weave
All our sarees are art silk (man-made silk) jacquard, woven in Surat. Here is a quick way to choose:
- Kanjivaram-style sarees have a contrast border and pallu with a temple feel – best for puja and traditional family functions.
- Lichi art silk sarees are soft and light with zari woven all over – easy to manage if you will be on your feet all day.
- Floral jacquard sarees feel fresh and a little modern – nice for evening get-togethers.

Styling tips for Dussehra
- Go for gold jewellery. Antique gold or temple-style jhumkas and a simple choker look perfect with blue and purple sarees.
- Try a contrast blouse. A rani pink, mustard or gold blouse lifts a navy or wine saree beautifully.
- Pin the pallu well. If you are going to a crowded Ravan Dahan ground, pleat and pin the pallu so you can move freely.
- Wear comfortable footwear. Flat kolhapuris or juttis are easier than heels for walking around melas.
- Add fresh flowers. A small gajra in the hair finishes the festive look.
