Wearing a black Paithani saree on the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti is not only a symbol of tradition but also a fashion statement
Since Makar Sankranti falls during the winter season, the color black absorbs heat. Therefore, there is an old tradition of specifically wearing a black saree on this day.
When a black Paithani saree features golden zari work and delicate motifs, its beauty is further enhanced.
Currently, many beautiful options in black are available in the market in border-pallu Paithani, semi-Paithani, and Yeola Paithani sarees.
A black Paithani looks even more striking with dark pink, parrot green, or red borders.
Gold jewelry or traditional Maharashtrian necklaces like Thushi and Kolhapuri Saaj look very attractive on a black Paithani saree.
Wearing a black Paithani saree with white sesame seed (tilgul) jewelry on Sankranti day gives a royal look.
This saree looks very elegant on everyone, from newly married women to elderly women.
The black color and golden zari work make your look very beautiful and radiant in photographs.
The Paithani saree never goes out of fashion. Therefore, the black Paithani saree bought for Sankranti will always enhance the beauty of your wardrobe.
