Why pink for day 8?
Goddess Mahagauri radiates purity and calm, and this day is all about channelling that energy into your celebrations. Pink represents the balance of beauty and strength, and who doesn’t want that in their life?
Let’s dive into some fun, sassy ways to make the most of Day 8’s pink power!
Pink decor soft, chic, oh-so-Insta-worthy!
Deck out your space with soft pink flowers like roses, lilies, or orchids for a dreamy floral arrangement. Or, go for a vibrant, bold pink toran adorned with gold accents for a more traditional (but still fab) touch. Rangoli lovers, mix it up by using pink rose petals or colourful pink powders. Add glitter (duh, always glitter!) for extra sparkle. A white rangoli with a pink centrepiece is another standout idea—it’s giving minimalist chic!
Bhog offerings: Pink, pretty, and delicious
Serving up pink-themed bhog is not just festive but also incredibly fun! For sweets, try rose-flavoured barfi or strawberry-infused modaks for a creative (and tasty) twist on tradition. Pink velvet halwa? Yes, please! And we can’t forget the savoury options. Dish out something like beetroot tikki or a pink-hued raita for a vibrant, tasty addition. Pro tip: Garnish your bhog offerings with edible rose petals or gold foil for an extra *oomph*.
Slay day 8 in a pink OOTD!
Pink isn’t just for being pretty, it’s for making a statement. For Day 8, rock a pink saree with silver or gold zari for that traditional-meets-glam look. Not feeling a saree? Go for a flowy anarkali in blush pink, it will have you twirling all day. For a “hatke” (different) twist, go casual chic with a pink kurta and wide-leg pants or a maxi dress. Throw on some silver hoops or a chunky bracelet and you’re set.
Pink themed gifts
Want to give your friends something that’s equal parts cute and thoughtful? Go for pink silk scarves or dupattas—they’re classic yet trendy. Pink glass bangles are another chic offering, and if you’re into gifting sustainable goodies, go for pink-scented candles (rose, sandalwood, or vanilla) or potted pink plants like anthuriums or mini roses. They’re not just adorable—they symbolize growth, love, and harmony. Perfect, right?
