Ganesh Chaturthi, a festival that holds deep cultural and spiritual significance, is celebrated with immense joy, devotion, and grandeur. As families welcome Lord Ganesha into their homes, the festive fervor is marked by rituals, prayers, and of course, traditional attire that reflects the richness of Indian heritage.
For women, Ganesh Chaturthi is the perfect occasion to showcase the elegance of ethnic wear, and what better way to do so than by embracing the timeless Marathi Mulgi look? The classic drape, the bold accessories, and the vibrant colors all come together to create a stunning ensemble. And when it comes to achieving that perfect look, Varkala Silk Sarees has you covered.
1. The Traditional Nauvari Saree: A Heritage Staple
At the heart of the Marathi Mulgi look is the iconic Nauvari saree—a nine-yard drape that embodies the essence of Maharashtrian culture. Known for its unique draping style, which allows ease of movement while exuding grace, the Nauvari is ideal for the festive season.
With Varkala Silk Sarees, you can choose from a range of vibrant hues like peacock green, royal purple, or auspicious saffron, ensuring that your saree is both traditional and eye-catching. The rich silk fabric not only elevates the aesthetic but also lends a regal touch to your Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
2. Pairing the Right Blouse: Contemporary Meets Tradition
While the Nauvari is the focal point, pairing it with the right blouse can make all the difference. Opt for elbow-length blouses with intricate zari or gold thread work for a classic feel, or choose modern silhouettes with statement sleeves for a contemporary twist on the Marathi Mulgi look.
Varkala’s collection offers a variety of blouse designs that balance tradition with modern style, ensuring that you stand out during the festive gatherings.
3. Accessorizing the Marathi Mulgi Way
No Marathi Mulgi look is complete without the right accessories. Begin with the iconic nath (nose ring), a symbol of Maharashtrian pride. Choose one adorned with pearls and gemstones to add a touch of elegance to your ensemble. Complement it with green glass bangles and a chunky gold necklace (thushi), adding both tradition and flair. Don’t forget to add the chooda (traditional bangle set) and a pair of Kolhapuri chappals to complete the look. Varkala Silk Sarees also offers a curated collection of traditional accessories, so you can get everything you need in one place.4. The Perfect Hair and Makeup for Festive Glam
The Marathi Mulgi look is incomplete without the signature hair bun adorned with jasmine flowers. A neat, center-parted bun adorned with fresh gajra (jasmine garland) is a timeless style. Pair it with a subtle makeup look focusing on kohl-rimmed eyes, bold eyebrows, and a classic red or maroon bindi.
With Varkala’s festive collection, you’ll find sarees in colors that perfectly complement a minimalist makeup look, ensuring you strike the right balance between festive glam and cultural authenticity.
