Durga Puja 2026 Guide: Dates & What to Wear
Durga Puja 2026 runs from October 16 to October 21, overlapping with the final days of Navratri. It's the biggest festival of the year in Bengal and among Bengali communities worldwide, celebrating Goddess Durga's victory over the demon Mahishasura. The days are marked by pandal-hopping — visiting elaborately decorated community shrines, usually in your best festive outfit and jewelry — alongside Anjali, sindoor khela on the final day (Vijaya Dashami), and family gatherings.
What to Wear for Durga Puja
Whatever saree, salwar suit or Punjabi you're wearing for pandal-hopping, the right jewelry finishes the look. Traditional Kundan or gold-plated necklace sets, sized for a saree or salwar neckline, are the most common pairing — most come with matching earrings.
