On the auspicious occasion of Kali Puja, on 31st October 2024, Rani Mukerji was seen seeking the blessings of Maa Kali at the puja pandal. Like each year, the actress added a dash of glamour to her traditional outfit. She did not wear a Bengali saree for the celebrations but opted for a gorgeous purple-hued salwar kameez. However, what caught our attention was the dainty mangalsutra she was wearing.
For those who do not know, Kali Puja is a festival dedicated to Goddess Kali. The Bengalis offer different rituals and prayers to the Goddess. The puja takes place at night. Rani Mukerji was papped, leaving the pandal in traditional Indian wear. Her unique mangalsutra was made of tiny black beads and had no uncut diamond piece. She flaunted her Shakha Pola and draped the dupatta in Punjabi style. She completed her look with a neatly done bun, a white gajra and long earrings that added a magical colour to her festive fashion.

Her makeup was light; she tied her hair in a neat bun and applied a bit of sindoor.
