The content strategy we observed
Top videos show one person, one saree look, with a visible change or ritual step: casual-to-festive transitions, sindoor, hair steps, tagged to a Pujo day.
Videos open on a relatable line or a plain starting point: 'Average maach bhaat eater during Pujo' over a white tank top, or her wondering what to wear for Ashtami.#1 #3
Each one is a before-and-after. A casual outfit becomes a festive look, or a finished bun is shown first and then built step by step. Some add a milestone, like a first Puja after marriage.#1 #4 #6
Short vertical Instagram videos by single creators: a transition, a saree dance, a sindoor close-up in a small mirror, or a hair tutorial with a hair donut.#2 #4 #5
Personal and festive, with no selling. Jewellery, bangles and sindoor are shown as part of the day's look, and captions name the Pujo day, like Ashtami.#2 #3 #5
The top videos went up between Oct 9 and Oct 15: 9 of 10 before Google searches peaked on Oct 15. Social views peaked on Oct 8.#1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10
Film a one-day Pujo look, bare face to finished look, with one skin, makeup or hair step shown up close, and post it on the day's name.
