Colours of Navaratri

Navaratri is a nine-day festival dedicated to nine different forms of the Goddess Durga, with a unique colour belonging to each of her forms. Wearing these colours aligns your energy with the Goddess, enhancing devotion, positivity, and spiritual growth during this auspicious festival.

Day 1- White

Wear white on the first day to seek blessings from Maa Shailputri. White represents purity, innocence, and calmness; it reflects a fresh start and mental clarity. Wearing white attracts positivity, calms the mind, and sets a positive tone for the Navratri celebrations ahead.

Day 2- Red

Red represents passion, energy, and love, and is the favourite colour of Maa Brahmacharini. Wearing red energizes the body and mind, boosts vitality, courage, and motivation, and fills the day with warmth, devotion, and dynamic energy as you celebrate the Goddess’s strength and power.

Day 3- Royal Blue

Worshippers wear royal blue to worship Maa Chandraghanta, the married avatar of Goddess Parvati; it reflects richness, depth, and peace, encouraging calmness, mental clarity, and emotional stability, while inviting blessings for marital bliss, harmony, and spiritual growth on the third day of Navaratri.
