Premium ethnic wear collection from the house of Nizams
Durga Puja is all about celebration, tradition, family gatherings, pandal hopping, delicious food and, of course, dressing up for the occasion. While women have endless options in sarees and ethnic suits, men can create an equally festive look with a well-chosen kurta for Durga Puja.
From classic cotton kurtas for daytime pandal visits to embroidered and Chikankari styles for Ashtami and Navami celebrations, there are plenty of options available online. If you are planning your festive wardrobe, here are some of the trending kurtas for men for Durga Puja that are worth exploring on Amazon.
A Chikankari kurta is one of the most versatile choices for Durga Puja. The intricate embroidery gives it a traditional appearance without making the outfit look overly heavy.
White, ivory, pastel yellow, mint green and powder blue are particularly easy to style during daytime celebrations. Pair the kurta with a white pyjama or straight trousers and traditional juttis or mojaris.
Best for: Saptami, Ashtami morning, family gatherings and pandal hopping.

Bright and festive, a yellow kurta for men fits beautifully into the celebratory atmosphere of Durga Puja.
Choose cotton or cotton-blend styles for daytime wear, especially if you expect to spend several hours visiting pandals. For evening celebrations, embroidered or textured yellow kurtas can create a more dressed-up appearance.
Complete the outfit with an ivory or white pyjama and brown ethnic footwear.
Best for: Daytime Puja, Saptami and festive family photographs.

Ashtami is one of the most important days of Durga Puja, making it a great occasion to bring out a slightly more elaborate ethnic outfit.
An embroidered kurta for men featuring thread work, subtle sequins or traditional motifs can add festive character while keeping the overall outfit elegant.
Colours such as maroon, bottle green, navy blue, black and deep red work particularly well for evening celebrations.
Best for: Ashtami celebrations, Anjali, festive dinners and evening events.

Wear it with a comfortable cotton pyjama, linen trousers or straight pants.
Best for: Pandal hopping, daytime celebrations and casual Puja outings.

If you don't want to spend time figuring out which bottom will match your kurta, choose a complete kurta pyjama set.
A coordinated set creates a polished ethnic look and makes festive dressing considerably easier. Depending on your personal style, you can choose a simple solid kurta set or something featuring embroidery, prints or festive detailing.
Best for: Ashtami, Navami, family celebrations and festive dinners.

For evening celebrations, subtle shine can work particularly well. A sequin embroidered kurta can create a festive look without requiring additional layers or accessories.
Instead of choosing extremely heavy embellishment, look for kurtas featuring carefully placed sequins combined with thread embroidery. Black, navy, wine, emerald and darker festive shades can look particularly striking at night.
Best for: Navami night, parties and evening Puja celebrations.

Not everyone wants traditional embroidery. A printed kurta for men offers a more relaxed and contemporary approach to Durga Puja dressing.
Floral, geometric and traditional ethnic motifs can all work well. Keep the bottom relatively simple so that the print remains the focus of the outfit.
Best for: Younger men, casual celebrations, pandal hopping and daytime outings.

For those who prefer something less traditional, a short kurta can easily be styled with jeans, chinos or relaxed trousers.
Choose a textured cotton, printed or embroidered short kurta and pair it with clean white sneakers for a contemporary Indo-western look. This combination is particularly practical when you have a full evening of pandal hopping planned.
Best for: College students, Gen-Z festive looks and casual pandal hopping.

When in doubt, a white kurta for men remains one of the easiest ethnic outfits to style.
Choose pure cotton for a simple traditional look or go for Chikankari, textured fabric or subtle embroidery when you want something more festive. A white kurta can be paired with a matching pyjama for a classic outfit or contrasted with beige and neutral bottoms.
Add a traditional stole or Nehru jacket if the occasion calls for a more dressed-up appearance.
Best for: Ashtami Anjali, daytime Puja and traditional family celebrations.

When shopping online, don't choose a kurta based only on its photographs. Check the fabric, size chart, fit, garment length and care instructions before ordering.
For long hours of pandal hopping, lightweight cotton and rayon styles can be convenient. For evening functions, embroidered, Chikankari, Chanderi-style and subtly sequinned kurtas can provide a more festive appearance.
Most importantly, choose something that you will be comfortable wearing throughout the celebration.
The right accessories can transform even a simple kurta. Depending on the outfit, consider pairing it with an ivory or white pyjama, straight trousers, juttis, mojaris or clean minimal sneakers.
For more formal celebrations, a Nehru jacket or lightweight stole can add another layer to the outfit without overpowering the kurta.
Durga Puja is the perfect occasion to experiment with Indian ethnic wear. Whether you prefer the simplicity of a white cotton kurta, the craftsmanship of Chikankari, the festive appearance of an embroidered kurta, or the contemporary styling of a short kurta with jeans, there is a look for almost every celebration.
Plan separate outfits for daytime pandal hopping and evening festivities, and prioritise fabrics and fits that remain comfortable for several hours.
