Frequently Asked Questions (Festivals)

Which saree is best for Pohela Boishakh?
The classic red and white combination is traditional. A white cotton Tant saree with red border or a red-and-white Jamdani is perfect. Complete the look with red lipstick, floral crown, and traditional bangles.
What saree to wear for Eid?
Elegant Banarasi silk or high-quality Jamdani in rich colors like deep green, maroon, gold, or pastel shades. Pair with statement jewelry. Lightweight georgette sarees with embroidery are also popular for comfort.
What is the traditional saree for Durga Puja?
White Banarasi silk with red border (traditional white laal paar) is iconic. Red and white cotton tant sarees are also very popular, especially for Dhunuchi dance. Bright colors like royal blue, pink, and green are worn by younger women.
How far in advance should I buy a festival saree?
At least 2–3 weeks before the festival. This gives time for delivery (especially if ordering from Daraz) and tailoring for the blouse. During peak seasons, delivery may take longer.
Are there discounts on sarees during festivals?
Yes! Daraz often runs major sales before Pohela Boishakh, Eid, and Durga Puja. You can find discounts, coupons, and cashback offers. Check our Hot Deals page for curated festival offers.
Can I wear a silk saree for summer festivals?
Silk can feel warm. For summer festivals like Pohela Boishakh (April), choose lightweight cotton Jamdani, Tant, or linen sarees. For air-conditioned events, silk is fine. Georgette and chiffon are also good summer options.
Can I return a festival saree if it doesn't fit?
Yes, if purchased via Daraz, you have a 7-day return window provided the saree is unused, unwashed, and has original tags. Always check the seller's return policy before buying.
