Celebrations of Navratri, also known as Durga Puja, are underway with full devotion and enthusiasm across the country with devotees indulging themselves in the worship of Goddess Durga and her nine avatars.
Beginning on 26 September 2022, Sharadiya Navratri will end on 5 October 2022, on Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami. One of the biggest festivals of the year, Navratri festivities are in full swing this year after two years of low-key celebrations, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. During these nine days, people wear new clothes, keep fasts, do pujas and aartis, and also visit pandals.
Amid all these, the nine incarnations of Maa Durga, also called the Navadurgas, are the main focus throughout the festival. While each day has a goddess manifestation with it, the days also have different colours significant to each avatar.
Devotees in a bid to mark the festivities also wear clothes of the nine specific colours until the last day. Today is the eighth day of Navratri when people worship the eighth form of the Goddess, Maa Mahagauri, and significantly a colour also is linked with the form.
