Every year, Ganesh Chaturthi ushers in a wave of festive cheer all over the country, with festivals like Onam, Dussehra and Diwali all lining up in the next few months. Whether you’re hosting Lord Ganesha in your own home this year, or have a list of friends whose houses you have to visit, you want to make sure you’re stepping out in your traditional best. It pays to note that anything you shop now will see many re-wears in the near future, so make sure you do your research and invest in outfits that are versatile.

Kurtas are a fail-safe pick for almost any Indian occasion, and this one’s no different. Look towards Ritu Kumar’s embroidered blue kurta and sharara set for a subtle yet impactful look. Another option would be Gopi Vaid’s yellow kurta set, which comes with dhoti pants that are hemmed with a gold border. Simar Dugal’s pink kurta features gota work, and is a great choice for those who love Indian handcrafts, while Varun Bahl’s printed champagne and white kurta set is sure to win votes among the non-traditionalists.

If you’re looking beyond kurtas, classic saris are also a guaranteed hit on Ganesh Chaturthi. Step away from anything too embellished or ornate, and choose options in solid colours and luxurious fabrics for the festivities. Style Raw Mango’s pink silk sari and yellow blouse with a pair of chunky silver earrings, or opt for Ajio’s orange brocade sari if you’re not the kind to shy away from bright colours.
