Navratri 2023 Day 8- Georgette Banarasi Bandhani Saree

In today’s post, I am celebrating the radiance of Navratri 2023 Day 8 with a Georgette Banarasi Bandhani Saree. Read through to learn more about the significance of the day and more about the look.

Navratri is one of the few festivals celebrated across India with equal devotion. This nine-night festival is dedicated to worshiping the divine feminine, and each day is associated with a different form of the goddess Durga with a specific color. Here are the colors for Navratri 2023:

Oct 17, 2023- Red
Oct 18, 2023- Royal Blue
Oct 19, 2023- Yellow

Oct 21, 2023- Grey
Ocr 22, 2023- Purple
Ocr 23- 2023- Peacock Green

On Navratri Day 8, we honor Maa Mahagauri, the eighth form of Goddess Durga, also called Asthami. The name “Mahagauri” symbolizes purity and tranquility, reminding us that peace is the ultimate treasure. The day is associated with the Purple color.

For Day 8, I draped a Banarasi Georgette saree with all-over banarasi weaving and handwork Bandhani Saree. Georgette sarees have quickly become a newfound love of mine; they are easy to drape, and the pleats fall beautifully with minimal effort and look graceful. This convenience is perfect for festivals and events where the luxury of time for draping an elaborate Kanjeevaram may be scarce.

Banarasi Legacy- Banarasi sarees are woven in the holy city of Varanasi, formerly known as Banaras, and are an integral part of Indian culture and tradition. The use of fine silk or Georgette fabric and opulent zari work is a hallmark of Banarasi sarees.

Bandhani- Bandhani is a traditional tie-dye technique that involves skillfully tying small portions of the fabric with threads to create intricate patterns. The fabric is then dyed, resulting in beautiful, distinctive designs. Bandhani is an ancient art form that has been passed down through generations, and it adds a sense of tradition and craftsmanship to the saree.

When it comes to jewelry, I paired the saree with a beautiful pearl necklace. This necklace complemented the delicate pearl work on the blouse sleeve ends and harmonized beautifully with the earrings adorned with pearl “champasaralu” (the string that goes from the ear to the hair). The pearls exuded a classic and regal charm and enhanced the opulence of the Banarasi Georgette Bandhani Saree.

The Pearl necklace is from Shinediamonds, renowned for their expertise in beads and pearls, and they offers competitive pricing. I have bought a few mala sets from them and have been thoroughly impressed by the exceptional quality of their products.
