You will also not believe it after hearing about this tradition played in Chandannagar of Hooghly district of West Bengal. According to a tradition here, not only women but men also have to wear saris to worship the Goddess here.

In this tradition played in Chandannagar, not women but men wear saris to worship Mother Jagadhatri. Maa Jagadhatri is worshiped by men wearing saris and putting pallu on their heads. This unique looking scene is also quite enchanting. A lot of devotees come from all around to see this magnificent sight.
It is believed that this tradition is from the time of the British. 229 years ago, when the country was ruled by the British, women did not come out of the house after dusk. Due to this, only men used to worship Mother Jagadhatri wearing saris. However, after that it became a tradition. From then till today, men worship the mother by wearing a sari by tying a pallu on her head to worship the mother.
