Its Navratri time and I have always admired the pristine white and red sarees draped by my Bengali friends with such panache. Today\u2019s color is white and I am still waiting to find that perfect white and red saree outside of Kolkatta, and not through online shopping!<\/p>\n

The highlight of this saree is the border, and of course the pallu, a dressy maroon and gold, with very intricate jari work on it. I bought this saree from Kolkatta several years back, on the urging of my cousin who had taken me shopping. <\/p>\n
