The saree is worn all over the Indian subcontinent, and consequently, every single region has developed unique styles and varieties of this classic Indian garment. Since festivals play such an important role in the lives of the Indian populace, a lot of the special or fancy saris were initially specifically developed and worn for certain festivals. To this day, festivals are celebrated with a lot of pomp and splendor and are associated with certain unique saree styles:

Bandhani Sarees

These saris are widely worn in Rajasthan and Gujarat and are an integral part of any Gujarati festival celebrations. Created using the ancient tie and dye method, they come with distinctive and colorful patterns spread all over soft and absorbent cotton fabrics. Bandhani sarees are also very comfortable and are considered the appropriate choice for Navratri, Dandiya and other such ‘dance’ festivals that take place in the days leading up to Dusshera.

Kanjeevaram Sarees

In the south, you will find Kanjeeveram sarees worn at most special occasions or celebrations. For various south Indian festivals like Pongal and Mysore Dusshera, these sarees are the traditional choice. In fact, they are a safe choice for any kind of festivity since they have become popular across India nowadays and look both traditional and beautiful.
