The 9 Colours of Navratri: What They Symbolize

Among the many cherished rituals of Navratri, dressing in accordance with the nine colours signifying different forms of Goddess Durga is a very popular tradition. Depending on the region and the particular panchang, there may be slight variations in the list below:

Day 1 – Grey: Signifies transformation and balance.

Day 2 – Orange: Denotes energy and warmth. You may opt for the Kesar Orange Anarkali Suit to dress festively.

Day 3 – White: Denotes peace and purity.

Day 4 – Red: Symbolizes power and passion. You may choose the Reet Red Sharara Suit to wear on this auspicious day.

Day 5 – Royal Blue: Denotes peaceful strength. The Elowyn Blue Lehenga Set with Mirror Work and Gold Zari is the perfect festive attire for Garba Night.

Day 6 – Yellow: Signifies happiness and brightness. You may dress in the Toran Yellow Sharara Suit that matches the mood of the day.

Day 7 – Green: Signifies rejuvenation. The Olive Green Chinnon Kali Lehenga Set with Zari Sequin Embroidery is a good festive outfit.

Day 8 – Peacock Green/Purple: Symbolizes royalty and aspiration. For the festive occasion, the Royal Purple Anarkali Suit will be an apt choice.

Day 9 - Pink: It denotes love and harmony, providing a soothing end to the festival.

As the color codes may vary from year to year depending upon the day the week starts, it is recommended that you confirm it before time. However, by carrying Navratri Outfits in these colors, you will have nothing to worry about.

Garba Nights vs. Puja Days: Choosing the Right Silhouette

Each day of the Navratri will not require the same kind of Navratri Outfits. The evenings of garba and dandiya will require a lot of dancing and hence will need lehenga sets which will not lose their shapes even after several hours of dancing. For example, the Elowyn Blue Lehenga Set and the Olive Green Chinnon Kali Lehenga Set are both suited for such occasions. On the other hand, Puja mornings and family functions are occasions that require the graceful flow of an Anarkali and the comfortable nature of a sharara suit. This includes the Kesar Orange Anarkali Suit, the Reet Red Sharara Suit, the Toran Yellow Sharara Suit, and the Royal Purple Anarkali Suit.

The idea behind this is to ensure that you have a versatile collection of Navratri Outfits where you will not be required to wear a heavy dance-ready lehenga to the quiet mornings or wear a comfortable suit to the evening where there is need for some drama.

Quick Tips for Planning Your 9-Night Wardrobe

Count down starting from October 11. Add Mark Ghatasthapana to your diary and take a couple of weeks to shop for, tailor, and adorn yourself with Navratri Outfits.

Go for 3-4 outfits, not 9. The right selection of lehengas and suits will make your Navratri outfits complete with the help of accessories and different combinations.

Choose silhouette according to the occasion. Keep flared lehengas for Garba night and reserve Anarkali/sharara suits for pujas and family get-togethers.

Accessories play an important role. You should choose oxidized silver with mirror work pieces and gold accessories with zari/sequin embroidery.

Comfort matters a lot. Since you have 9 days ahead, the right choice of fabric is equally important as picking colors for the day.
