Usher in the festive vibes with Durga-themed accessories this season

Durga Puja is just around the corner. What better way to celebrate and welcome Goddess Durga than to pay her a homage through jewellery inspired by her? 

These homegrown brands have done exactly that by creating quirky pieces of jewellery inspired by the goddess. While some bear a direct resemblance, the others seek inspiration from her to create abstract pieces with Durga motifs. 

Here is a list of Durga-inspired accessories that you can flaunt this festive season…

Kolkata-based designer Mahuya Acharjya has come up with this handcrafted necklace in brass, with a pendant inspired by the goddess’s Kali avatar. This metal piece is a statement accessory that you can definitely try this Puja.
