Dashain is Nepal's biggest and most cherished festival — a time for family reunions, tika, blessings, puja, feasting, and dressing up for the people who matter most. Dashain 2026 begins with Ghatasthapana on October 11, followed by Fulpati on October 17, Maha Ashtami on October 18, Maha Nawami on October 20, and Vijaya Dashami (Dashain Tika) on October 21.
Our Dashain Saree collection brings together sarees suited to the festive season — rich reds, maroons, greens, pinks, golds, festive silks, elegant georgettes, and timeless designs chosen for family gatherings, tika visits, puja, and celebrations. Whether you're looking for a saree for Dashain Tika, getting ready to visit relatives, or sending a saree to your mother, sister, daughter, or loved one, this is where to start.
A few notes for Dashain saree shopping: choose a rich silk saree with a traditional border for an elegant Tika-day look, or go for a lighter georgette if you'll be travelling between family gatherings and celebrating throughout the day. Pair your saree with gold or antique jewellery for a classic festive look. Free delivery is available on orders above NPR 2,000, with Cash on Delivery across Nepal.

Choosing the Right Saree for Dashain
Dashain is a full day of family gatherings and celebrations — getting ready for tika, welcoming guests, visiting relatives, attending puja, and taking family photographs. The right saree should balance festive elegance with comfort. A structured silk saree holds its pleats well and gives a traditional, polished look for Dashain Tika and family photos, while a lighter georgette saree is comfortable for travelling and moving between gatherings throughout the day.
Silk vs Georgette: Which Fabric for Dashain?
Silk is a timeless choice for Dashain — it has weight and sheen, drapes beautifully, and gives a rich traditional appearance that works especially well for Tika, puja, and family gatherings. Georgette is lighter and more fluid, making it a comfortable choice for long days, travelling, visiting relatives, and celebrations that continue from morning into the evening. Both fabrics are represented in our Dashain collection, so choose based on how you plan to celebrate.
What to Look for in a Dashain Saree
When choosing a saree for Dashain, consider the occasion, fabric, colour, and how long you expect to wear it. Rich colours and traditional borders work beautifully for Dashain Tika, while softer and lighter sarees can be more practical for travelling and visiting family. A saree that drapes comfortably, holds its pleats, and feels easy to wear will take you from morning preparations to evening celebrations.
Best Saree Colours for Dashain
Unlike Teej, Dashain does not have one specific colour that everyone is expected to wear. Red, maroon, green, pink, gold, purple, and other rich festive shades all work beautifully for Dashain. For a traditional look, choose a deep-coloured saree with a gold border and pair it with gold or antique jewellery and a festive tika.
Dashain Sarees for Gifting
A saree is a thoughtful Dashain gift for a mother, sister, daughter, wife, or someone special. If you're visiting family during Dashain, a beautiful saree can make a meaningful festive gift. You can also send a saree to loved ones across Nepal, making it easy to share a little of the Dashain celebration even when you cannot be together in person.
