Navratri is one of the most popular Hindu festivals, celebrated with fasting, puja, dance, music, and cultural traditions across India. The nine nights and ten days of this festival are dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine divine forms, collectively known as Navdurgas. This year, Shardiya Navratri 2025 will begin on September 22 and conclude with Vijayadashami (Dussehra) on October 2, 2025.
A unique and much-followed aspect of Navratri is the tradition of wearing specific colours each day. The Navratri 2025 colours not only enhance the festive spirit but also carry deep spiritual meanings. Each shade corresponds to one form of Maa Durga and is believed to attract her divine blessings, positivity, and strength.
