Ganeshotsav is Pune's most celebrated festival. Homes welcome Bappa, mandals across the city set up pandals, and families gather for aartis, prasad and visits. Each part of the festival calls for a slightly different look.
Aarti at home
Morning and evening aartis are personal and festive. Choose:
- A light necklace or pendant set.
- Small jhumkas or studs.
- A few gold-toned bangles with glass bangles.
Comfort matters since you may be busy with preparations.
Pandal visits
Visiting pandals means walking, crowds and long evenings. Wear secure, lightweight jewellery:
- Medium jhumkas or ear studs rather than very heavy earrings.
- A choker or short necklace that will not swing or snag.
- Fewer bangles so your hands stay free.
Cultural programmes and dhol-tasha
For performances and programmes, traditional Maharashtrian looks shine: nauvari or Paithani with nath, thushi and saaj. See our nauvari jewellery guide.
Visarjan day
Choose sturdy, simple pieces. Avoid delicate items that may be damaged in crowds or water.
Colour ideas
Festive colours such as red, yellow, orange, green and maroon pair beautifully with gold-toned jewellery and red or green stones.
Care during the festival
Ganeshotsav often falls during the monsoon. Wipe jewellery dry after each outing and store it with silica gel. See our care guide.
