You’ve definitely seen Garad sarees if you’ve ever watched Durga Puja visuals. These are the off-white silk sarees with red borders, traditionally worn by Bengali women during rituals. Garad means ‘without color’, referring to the natural, undyed base, and the minimalism is what makes them so powerful.
They’re elegant, spiritual, and effortlessly classy. Plus, they’re super comfortable to wear for long hours – think long pujas, family functions, or even formal events.
When to wear: Religious ceremonies, cultural events, or classy office wear
Pro tip: Pair with a red bindi and gold jewelry for that ultimate Bengali goddess look.
