The Dussehra festival celebrates the victory of Rama over Ravana, symbolising the triumph of good over evil. The name "Dussehra" comes from "dasha," meaning ten, and "hara," meaning defeat. During this festive time, people enjoy lively dances like Garba and Dandiya.
Here are six ways to look great in your kurta-pyjama for Dussehra nights:
Denim Jackets: Women can pair colorful denim jackets or those with beadwork with their Dandiya outfits. Men can match a denim jacket with a dhoti, shirt, and a turban if they have one.
Elegant Kurta: A navy blue kurta paired with beige or white linen pants is a stylish and versatile choice for any festive occasion.
Comfortable Footwear: If you plan to dance all night, wear sandals to complete your look. Avoid juttis or loafers, as they can get damaged or dirty on the Garba ground.
Nehru Jacket: A simple plain shirt can be elevated with a Nehru jacket and dhoti pants for a chic and comfortable outfit for Garba night.
Pastel Colors: Light pastel kurtas with embroidery or sparkly beadwork stand out beautifully during Dandiya events. A touch of sparkle is essential!
Casual Look: If you prefer a more laid-back style or are just there for the food, wear your favorite kurta-pyjama and add a colorful chunni. This will help you blend in with the festive crowd.
