Introduction

It is quite rare to find festivals where colour becomes an essential part of the celebration. However, Navratri is one such festival where each of the nine days is associated with a unique colour, and dressing up according to the occasion becomes instinctive for many ladies participating in this festival. The Gulbhahar Collection consists of festival wear pieces corresponding to the nine colours and makes it easier for you to decide your pooja wear for the entire week without much hassle.

Which Colour to Wear on the First Day of Navratri?

On the first day of Navratri, grey is the traditional colour, which symbolises power and change as the festival is going to begin soon. Grey Heavy Suit for Women suits this best. With its straight-fit design in silk crepe, featuring panelled sequin and kora work, this shade of grey will make sure that you have something more festive to wear instead of something plain and dull.

Which Clothing Would You Choose For Day 2 of Navratri Pooja?

Orange should be chosen on the second day of Navratri due to the energy of the festival. The Orange Festive Suit is perfect for the event since the zardozi, sequin and dabka embroidery goes from the yoke, and there is a sharara adorned with beaded tassels in the set.

Is There a Special Significance Of the Colour White for Navratri?

Indeed, white is worn on the third day of Navratri. The colour is related to purity and tranquillity of mind. Ivory Mul Cotton Kurta Set should be worn on this day due to lattice embroidery and pearl tassel details on the sleeves and hem of the outfit.

Which Colour is Used On the Fourth Day of Navratri?

The red colour is used on the fourth day of Navratri. The colour means beauty and passion. Rust Red Designer Garara Suit should be chosen on this day due to heavy embroidery made of gold threads and traditional floral and paisley motifs.

What Colour Represents the Fifth Day of Navratri?

The colour of peace and prosperity is usually blue, and it is worn on the fifth day of Navratri. The Navy Blue Heavy Work Suit will be a good option for this. This suit features floral medallion panels of sequin and kora embroidery all over the length of the kurta and helps the navy blue colour shine under the photograph of the lights of the diyas or evening.

What Should You Wear On Day 6 of Navratri?

Happy and bright, the colour of the sixth day is yellow. A simple yet fitting option for this can be Mustard Yellow Festive Suit with its heavy work embroidery on the front yokes and a matching sharara.

Is Green a Special Navratri Colour?

Green is one of the colours of Navratri, and it is worn on the seventh day, depicting freshness and new beginnings. Jewel Kaftan Co-Ord Set in Bottle Green is an informal but elegant alternative to this colour. It is a kaftan-style dress made out of Korean crepe fabric with a pearl and stone neckline.

Which Colour Symbolises the Eighth Day of Navratri?

Purple is generally considered the colour that symbolises the eighth day. This is because of the connection between the colour and ambition and power that marks the coming of Ashtami. An example of this type of attire is the Purple Designer Kaftan Suit. It comes with a deep V-neckline that is surrounded by zari embroidery and Mughal-inspired designs on a kaftan design.

How Should You Dress for the Last Day of Navratri?

The last or ninth day is always dedicated to pink, which is the colour of harmony as the festival draws to a close. In this case, the Rani Pink Suit is ideal for this final day. It is made of a sleeveless straight kurta and flowy palazzo with mirror-inspired design and zari embroidery.

Must You Stick to the Nine-Coloured Sequence Exactly?

No, but doing so brings a bit more meaning to how you dress up for Navratri, particularly if you are going to attend any poojas or garba functions where there is always adherence to the colour of the day. It is perfectly acceptable to pick up a shade within the same range even if the specific colour is not something you fancy on any particular day.

The Final Word

Navratri's sequence of colours lends some order to the otherwise independent decisions of choosing an outfit for nine days. Whichever way you look at it, either in terms of strict adherence to colours or by choosing a few colours that really resonate with you, having outfits of those colours will make your job of dressing up much easier during Navratri. The Gulbhahar range features all of these colours in various combinations of suits suited exactly for such festive weeks.
