Durga Puja Shopping Online 2026: Authentic Handcrafted Outfits, Jewellery & Puja Essentials
Durga Puja is five days of new clothes, packed pandals, and pujo from Shashthi to Dashami, and iTokri puts everything you need for it in one place. This is the Durga Puja collection: handloom sarees and festive dresses, oxidised jewellery, Nehru jackets for men, and puja essentials like diyas and terracotta decor, all handmade by artisans and in stock, shipped from our base in Gwalior with free shipping over ₹10,000.
What Is Durga Puja?
Durga Puja celebrates Goddess Durga's victory over the demon Mahishasura, good over evil, and, at its heart, the divine feminine power, Shakti. Biggest in Bengal but celebrated across India, it runs over the last days of Navratri, from Shashthi (the sixth day) to Vijaya Dashami, when the idols are taken for immersion. For most families it is the year's main occasion to dress up: a fresh saree for each day, new clothes for the whole household, and pandal-hopping in your best.
Durga Puja 2026: When Is It?
Durga Puja 2026 will be celebrated from 17 to 21 October 2026, marking the annual celebration of Goddess Durga's victory over evil. The main festivities include Maha Saptami, Maha Ashtami, Maha Navami and Vijayadashami. Maha Ashtami falls on 20 October, while Vijayadashami will be observed on 22 October 2026. The five day celebration is especially significant in West Bengal, Odisha, Assam, Bihar and other parts of India, with devotees participating in puja, cultural events and festive gatherings. The practical takeaway: order your Durga Puja outfits and essentials by late September so everything arrives before Shashthi.
