Bollywood revelled in the festive season during the nine nights of Navratri. It has now drawn to a close, but left us with some memorable looks, both ethnic and otherwise. One of the fashion statements that stood out during the puja season was when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan stepped out in her silk sari. Looking absolutely glorious in her festive attire, Bachchan donned a placid purple sari by Payal Khandwala and we love the simple yet sophisticated ethnic look.

Stylist Tanya Ghavri deserves a round of applause for knowing the style game just too well to keep it as earthly as possible for her and skipping the unnecessary bling. With a lose ponytail swept on one side, the actor wore only a small locket alongside, directing all the attention to her sumptuous sari in festive colours. The traditional red and white bangles and a big round maroon bindi rounded out her attire and the 43-year-old charmed many hearts.

Bachchan has been round and about with daughter Aaradhya in tow and we love the matching mother-daughter duo have done many times. Aaradhya in a lighter hue of pink looked as pretty as a picture and we are tickled by the way the young Bachchan, who was previously camera shy, has learnt to pose for pictures. The duo was seen worshipping Ma Durga and here are the pictures for your perusal. Take a look:

This is not the first time she spread ethnic magic on fashion aficionados. Bachchan knows how to carry off her saris with grace and another stunning attire that caught many eyeballs was her Sabyasachi sari on Ganesh Chaturthi. The actress looked resplendent in red and grabbed attention while worshipping the Ganesha idol. Take a look:
