9 Colors for the 9 Days of Navratri

Day 1 - Yellow:

Yellow, the color of cheer, hope, and positivity is just the right color to begin your annual festivities with a jubilant note. The first day of Navratri, dedicated to goddess Shailputri, is the day of pious beginnings, and the warmth of the color yellow will definitely help you do that with absolute exuberance.

Day 2 - Green:

Green Color

Green the color of youth and rejuvenation is just the perfect hue to worship the young form of the goddess- Maa Brahmacharini. The color is synonymous with spring tide growth and untainted prosperity and is the most auspicious shade to celebrate the second day of Navratri.

Day 3 - Grey:

Grey Color

Serendipity like this doesn’t happen often. Grey, the color of strength and dignity is chosen for this year’s third day of Navratri, the day of warrior Maa Chandraghanta. The goddess is known as the destroyer of evil spirits, and softness of the color grey will make you more receptive to her blessings.

Day 4 - Orange:

Orange Color

This year, orange is chosen for the fourth day of Navratri. And there can be no better color to capture the magnificent ambiance of Maa Kushmanda, the goddess whose smile is the very source of the bright and glorious luminescence of the star of our solar system.

Day 5 - White:

White Color

Nothing can encapsulate the pure and unconditional love of a mother than the ethereal boundlessness of color white. It’s a beautiful synchronicity that this year white is chosen as the color of the fifth day of Navratri, the day dedicated to the most maternal form of the goddess- Skandmata.

Day 6 - Red:

Red Color

Destroyer of tyrannical demons Mahishasur and Rakthabeej, the glorious form of goddess Durga- Maa Katyayani is worshipped during the sixth day of Navratri. Legend has it that the goddess was created out of the spontaneous anger of all Gods, and what better color is there to symbolize that!

Day 7 - Blue:

Blue Color

Enigma that Maa Kalratri is, the rapturous and rather fearsome form of Goddess Durga, is impeccably identified with the ceaselessness of color blue. Day seven of this year’s Navratri is perfectly associated with the color blue, the color of the ever-expanding ambiance of the fiercest form of the goddess.

Day 8 - Pink:

Pink Color

The benign form of the goddess- Mahagauri is worshipped on the eight-day of Navratri celebrations. And this year the daintiest shade of pink is chosen to honor the day. Reminiscent of the winter blossoms, pink is the perfect hue to celebrate the exquisite grace of the goddess.

Day 9 - Purple:

Purple Color

Maa Siddhidatri, the form of the goddess associated with victory over evil and all the other material world triumphs, is worshipped on the last day of Navratri. And justly so, the day this year is represented with purple- the color that symbolizes luxury and royalty.
