Sawan, Sarees & Sisterhood: A Monsoon Woven in Memories

2025-07-25

There’s something magical about the month of Sawan. The scent of rain-soaked earth, the swaying green trees, and skies heavy with clouds feel like poetry in motion. For many of us, this isn’t just a season - it’s an emotion. One filled with nostalgia, festivals, childhood songs, and the soft rustle of sarees as we dress up for Teej, Rakhi, and those cozy chai moments by the window.

The Romance of Rain and the Saree

There’s a reason why sarees feel extra special during Sawan. Maybe it’s the way light fabrics flutter in the monsoon breeze, or how shades of green, peacock blue, and deep maroon reflect the beauty of the season itself. Our mothers and grandmothers would bring out their finest cottons and silks, draping them effortlessly as they prepped for festive pujas or simply sat sipping tea near rain-drenched verandahs.

Kosa silks, Banarasis, and soft chanderi drapes -  these become more than just clothing. They become memories stitched with laughter, rain songs, and a shared sense of calm.

Teej, Rakhi & The Bond of Sarees

Sawan also brings with it festivals that celebrate relationships - especially between women. Teej is all about celebration, prayer, and feminine joy - women dressing in their vibrant best, applying mehendi, singing traditional songs, and sharing stories. And Rakhi, though centered on sibling love, often becomes a time for sisters to reunite - sharing sarees, styling each other’s looks, and reliving old stories.

Sarees, in these moments, are more than attire. They’re heirlooms exchanged with affection, gifts passed from one generation to the next, and symbols of tradition reinterpreted by modern women.

What to Wear This Sawan

This is the perfect time to indulge in sarees that celebrate comfort, beauty, and festivity - all at once:

  • Kosa Silks: Lightweight, sheer, with a natural sheen - perfect for Teej puja or festive gatherings.

  • Banarasi Sarees in Rain-Toned Hues: Think deep greens, indigo blues, and sunset oranges - regal yet playful.

  • Handloom Cottons/Chanderis with Traditional Prints: Block prints, Madhubani-inspired motifs, or Dabu prints that carry the earthy scent of Indian craft.

Whether you’re dancing barefoot during Teej or gifting your sister something meaningful this Rakhi, a saree is never just a saree. It’s a hug, a blessing, a celebration.

A Season of Stories

At NRITARA, every drape carries a piece of this monsoon magic - handcrafted with care, inspired by nature, and wrapped in the spirit of Indian tradition. As Sawan rains bless the land, may your wardrobe be blessed with beauty, stories, and sisterhood.
