Chaitra Navratri 2024: 9 colours for each day and their significance
Chaitra Navratri 2024: Chaitra Navratri, an auspicious nine-day festival, is here. Chaitra Navratri is a festival that honours the Goddess Durga. It lasts for nine nights and ten days.
The vibrant festival begins with Ghatasthapana and ends with Rama Navami, Lord Rama's birthday. This year, Chaitra Navratri will begin on April 9, 2024, and last until April 17, 2024.
During Chaitra Navratri, believers fast, pray, and perform religious rituals.
Every day honours a different aspect of Goddess Durga and her legends. The holiday is widely celebrated throughout India, and each region may have its own customs and traditions.
Because Vishnu's incarnation Lord Rama was born on Ram Navami, the ninth day is particularly significant. The festival concludes with Navratri Parana, in which devotees break their fast and worship the Goddess. Chaitra Navratri celebrations include dance, music, and community events.
Devotees believe that each of Goddess Durga's nine forms is associated with a specific colour that represents good fortune. To honour this significance, people typically wear clothes in the colour associated with each day.
Devotees worship Maa Shailputri on the first day and wear red to commemorate Navratri.
Aside from being the most common colour of chunri offered to the goddess, red represents love and passion. The person wearing this colour is thought to be more energetic and vibrant.

The celestial aura of Goddess Brahmacharini, who banishes ignorance and darkness and guides her devotees to enlightenment, is reflected in royal blue. Royal blue is a vibrant shade of blue that represents contentment and prosperity.
The colour yellow is believed to be auspicious to pay homage to Maa Chandraghanta, the goddess of tranquillity and peace. When a person wears yellow, they feel happy all day long, with an unparalleled sense of optimism and excitement.
The colour green represents nature and evokes feelings of growth, fertility, peace, and serenity. Wear green on Friday and the Goddess Kushmanda will grant you peace. Green is also the symbol of new beginnings in life.
On Day 5, Goddess Skandamata is worshipped, and the colour grey represents balanced emotions and keeping the person grounded. This is also the right colour to wear if you want to look slightly undertoned while participating in the Navratri festivities.
On Day 6, wearing orange to worship Goddess Katyayani can bring warmth and exuberance. This colour exudes positive energy and keeps the person happy.
The colour white represents purity and innocence. Wear white on Monday to earn Goddess Kalaratri's blessings and experience inner peace and security.
Wear pink on this day of Navratri celebrations to honour Maa Mahagauri. Pink represents peace, love, and compassion for all. This lovely colour gives a person a very charming and approachable appearance, as well as a lot of charm to their personality.
Wear sky blue on the last day of Chitra Navratri because it is associated with the sky and represents the vastness and unboundedness of nature. Wear this colour on Navratri's second Wednesday to broaden your perspectives and horizons.
