New Delhi: Navratri is one of the most joyous festivals for Indians, celebrated over 9 days with devotion, dance, and vibrant colours. This festival is dedicated to Maa Durga and her nine different divine forms. Each day of Navratri celebrates one avatar of Maa Durga and is represented by a specific colour, symbolising her unique qualities – from strength to serenity.
All these different colours are not just about clothing and fashion. They guide the rituals, connect with our traditions, and celebrate our roots. Wearing the prescribed colour every day of Navratri means you can connect with the cosmic beat of Goddess Durga’s avatars, her energies, intentions, and souls. Let us take a look at which colour corresponds to which form of the goddess and celebrate Navratri 2025 with purpose and personal style.
For believers, Navratri colours are not a simple matter of dressing and fashion – they are a means of paying tribute to the goddess, manifesting her virtues, and synchronising with spiritual forces.
Day 1: White
White colour resonates with purity, peace, and serenity. On the first day of Navratri, Maa Shailaputra is worshipped and wearing white clothing would resemble positive energy and cheerfulness.
Day 2: Bright red
The second of Navratri is dedicated to Maa Brahmacharini, the goddess of penance, power, and intense devotion. Red is also the colour of Sindoor that is offered to the Goddess. Wearing the colour will fill the person with vigour and vitality.
Day 3: Royal Blue
Royal blue on the third day of Navratri represents calm strength and inner balance. On this day, devotees pray to Maa Chandraghanta, who is known for her bravery and grace.
Day 4: Warm Yellow
Wearing yellow outfits on the fourth day of Navratri and worshipping Maa Kushmanda is considered auspicious. The yellow colour will create a sense of happiness and warmth that will keep you upbeat throughout the rituals of the day.
Day 5: Soft Green
Green symbolises growth, fertility, and harmony, which perfect fit for the fifth day of Navratri as we worship Maa Skandamata, the nurturing mother of Lord Kartikeya or Skand.
Day 6: Simple Grey
Grey, the colour of Day, symbolises balance, dignity, and inner wisdom, the same essence as Maa Katyayani. The colour grey symbolises balanced emotions.
Day 7: Sunny Orange
Day 7 of Navratri is dedicated to honouring a fierce and protective form of Maa Durga – Maa Kalaratri. Orange colour symbolises energy, radiance, and enthusiasm that aligns perfectly with the emotions of Maa Kalaratri.
Day 8: Peacock Green
Green peacock is the chosen colour for the eighth day of Navratri, when we worship Maa Mahagauri. Wearing peacock green outfits will appease Maa Mahagauri and fulfil all your wishes and desires.
Day 9: Pastel Pink
The final day of Navratri honours Devi Siddhidatri, the giver of wisdom and supernatural powers. Pink, the colour of the day, represents love, compassion, and spiritual fulfilment.
Navratri isn’t just about dance and décor- it’s about devotion and embracing the divine forms of Maa Durga with a specific colour of the day. Wearing outfits of the colour that denotes the power of the different forms of Maa Durga helps deepen the connection and build a spiritual bond.
