Durga Puja Fashion Preview: Dhaniakhali Cottons and Tussar Silks Set the Tone for Kolkata's Festive Streets

As Kolkata prepares for Durga Puja 2025, the city's style vocabulary is turning decisively toward handloom. Dhaniakhali cottons, prized for their crisp comfort and subtle texture, and Tussar silks, with their quiet sheen and earthy depth, are emerging as the season's defining fabrics across boutiques, marquees and neighbourhood markets. The result is a festive wardrobe that feels both rooted and contemporary, shaped by craft, climate and cultural confidence.
