Top Colour Picks for Your Karwa Chauth Look
1) Red Kurta Set: The Classic That Never Fails
Red is actually the official colour of Karwa Chauth. You know why? Because it’s auspicious, striking, and makes every woman look radiant. A beautiful bright red kurta set in chikankari exudes full festive vibes.
2) Pink Kurta Set: For the Bride-at-Heart
If red feels too intense, a pink kurta set is the most romantic alternative. Our chikankari kurta sets in pink are especially popular because the white threadwork on pink creates this delicate, almost bridal feel without going overboard.
3) Maroon Kurta Set: Rich, Deep, Luxurious
This is the colour for women who want to look effortlessly regal. A maroon kurta set with intricate embroidery or thread work has a richness to it. Pair it with gold accessories and you’re ready to shine, literally.
4) Yellow Kurta Set: The Unexpected Hero
Yellow at Karwa Chauth? Yes, please. Bringing out the vibrant yellow kurta set in a printed or chikankari style makes everything more warm and cozy. The kurta set, made of beautiful artwork brings freshness to the wardrobe. Style it with tan sandals and mauve lip shade.
Which Fabric Works Best
For a full-day festive occasion like Karwa Chauth, fabric matters as much as colour.
Chikankari kurta sets in cotton are our top recommendation. Hand embroidery on the festive-approved kurta adds to that festive, artisanal richness while the breathable base fabric keeps you super comfortable during the fast.
House of Kari’s rayon chikankari kurta set for Karwa Chauth feels more like the perfect middle ground between casual and elaborate.
Chanderi silk kurta sets are another beautiful option if you want that light sheen and slightly elevated feel without the weight of heavy bridal fabrics. They drape beautifully and look very dressy with minimal effort.
PrintKari sets are House of Kari's own signature printed collection, and are perfect if you love a more modern, contemporary look. Style with rich prints, coordinated pants, and that pulled-together look that gets you compliments all evening.

Jewellery: Chooda, maang tikka, jhumkas, bangles, just stack them up
Footwear: Embellished juttis or block heels work best (you'll be on your feet)
