2. Draping Shawl Instead Of Saree

Instead of draping the pallu of the saree, you can drape the shawl. Tuck the shawl on one side of the saree and pin it on the shoulder. Take the remaining pleats of the saree and create the front pallu.

3. Shawl On Side

This is a simple trick of just pinning the shawl on the opposite side of the pallu. Not only is this easy, but it also looks elegant, and the texture and colour of your pashmina will add contrast.

4. Butterfly Cape Style

Tie the shawl in the middle with a ribbon and then tie the remaining part of the ribbon around your waist. Cover your shoulders as you are wearing a jacket and secure it with a safety pin in front.

FAQ
How to keep the shawl from slipping during puja?
Pin the shawl lightly on one shoulder with a small safety pin, or hold the front edges together while doing Arghya. A velvet shawl slips less than a silk shawl because of its texture.
Who can do Chhath Vrat?
Anyone can do Chhath Vrat: men and women, married or unmarried. It is mostly done by women for their family, but men also keep the vrat with full devotion.
What should women wear for Chhath Puja?
Women traditionally wear new sarees, preferably in yellow, orange, red, or green colours. A new saree with a matching shawl or pashmina is the most popular look for Morning Arghya.
