Karwa Chauth 2026 falls on Thursday, 29 October. It is a long day: sargi before sunrise, a day of fasting, the evening puja with your thali and karwa, and then waiting for the moon. Most women want one outfit that feels special for the puja and photos, and something softer for the hours before it. This guide matches our ethnic wear to each part of the day.
Colours for Karwa Chauth
Red, maroon, wine, pink and orange are the classic Karwa Chauth colours because they carry the feel of shringar and of your wedding day. Gold embroidery, zari and sequins add the festive touch. Many families avoid black and white for the puja, so if you are unsure, stay with the warm shades.
What to wear for the evening puja
This is the main look, the one in every photo. Choose rich colour, embroidery and a dupatta you can drape over your head during the katha.
- Karnival Pink Embroidered French Crepe Anarkali, Palazzo & Dupatta Set, a flared anarkali with a matching palazzo.
- Mulberry Sequin & Zari Embroidered Fendy Silk Anarkali, Palazzo & Dupatta Set in maroon, violet or orange, with sequin and zari embroidery.
- Sakhi Wine Georgette Anarkali Gown with Embroidered Dupatta, a floor-length gown.
- Off White Silk Kurta, Pant & Jacquard Dupatta Set with Embroidered Yoke, with a pink or red embroidered yoke, in sizes up to 5XL (50).
- Vivah Embroidered Fandy Party Wear Saree with Blouse in red, blue or orange, if you prefer a saree for the puja.
- Sequin Embroidered Heavy Georgette Saree with Unstitched Blouse in red, for an evening saree look with sequin work.
Safety tip: the puja thali has a lit diya. Pin your dupatta securely and keep the loose end away from the flame, especially with georgette and net fabrics.
Ideas for your first Karwa Chauth
For a first Karwa Chauth, many brides re-wear their wedding lehenga or choose something close to it. If you want a new look, these are festive without being bridal-heavy.
