This Saptami, go ethnic like Anand Puri of Trincas

Boys and girls, men and women — it’s time to flaunt your festive kurtas and saris in style!

For Anand Puri, the third-generation restaurateur from Kolkata, a panjabi is always a hit during the pujos. “It’s lightweight, breathable, colorful, and practical,” he explained. This Durga Puja, Anand has elegantly donned a regal white kurta by the clothing brand Parama. Just as saris are a staple for women, a kurta is a must-have fashion statement for men during pujo. As tradition holds, wearing a kurta and sari on Ashtami is essential. The Trincas owner added, “Don’t be shy to roll up those sleeves and show off a little... this is the season and reason you’ve waited for all year.” Are you wearing ethnic attire this Ashtami like Anand Puri?
