A woman just needs that special look every festival. With Makar Sankranti just round the corner, Urbanly walked around the city’s finest boutiques and shops to bring you the most beautiful designer sarees in black.

Makar Sankranti is supposedly the last day of winter and also supposed to be the coldest winter day. Black traps heat and keeps the body warm. Another school of thought is also that, new brides wear black essentially on first Sankrant after wedding to ward of the evil (Nazar na lage).

Neeta Deshpande of Banjaras Natural fabrics of India in Aundh said, “Also, much as Maharashtrian women love the colour black , superstitions don’t permit them to wear it as a festive colour. The open minded young generation takes it as a guilt free permitted option on Sankrant to show off and adorn the Festive Black collection without being answerable to the orthodox older generation in some cases.”

Banjaras have a display befitting and representing the upcoming Makar Sankrant of natural dyed blacks in Ajrakhs , Chanderis, Banarasi, block prints are various options in stock.

Banjaras: 1 Sonali Apartments, Kotbagi hospital Lane, Aundh.

Shweta Bapat, of Sawenchi said, “Black usually is the colour that’s always been pushed behind in any festive season or traditional celebration. Sankranti is celebrated differently in different parts of the country. In Maharashtra along with wearing black as the colour for this festival, we make sweets that suit this weather. Til- Gul. We still follow the tradition of wearing classy black saree and adorning them with Halwayche dagine. For this occasion, we have sarees that suits all the age groups, from light weight, elegant yet classy. We have traditional paithani border sarees to a trendy patli pallu saree. All in black. Wear them with contrast blouse pices so the saree won’t look monotonous. We insist on having a handwoven, hand loomed collection to support the art of the artisans.”
