Navratri season is officially here and it brings with it a vibrant celebration of tradition, culture, colours and a lot more. The days are not far when you will be all dressed up, spending quality time with your loved ones, praying to Goddess Durga’s nine forms and dancing to the tunes of your all-time favourite Garba songs.

Interestingly, each day of Navratri is associated with a specific colour, and no matter where you are, it is considered auspicious to dress in these colours throughout the nine days. The nine colours stand for the many aspects and virtues of Goddess Durga. Embracing these colours in your festive attire adds to the joy of Navratri, making each day a unique expression of devotion and celebration.
Taneira brings forth a range of traditional attire that reflects the significance of the colours and ensures you celebrate each day to the fullest. Let’s explore the nine colours of Navratri and our curated list of outfits for each day.

Day 1: White
White, associated with innocence and purity, is the recommended colour for the first day of Navratri. Wearing white on this day is considered auspicious for the Devi Pooja and Khetri Beejna rituals. White sets a sacred tone for the beginning of the festival, reflecting clarity and purity of thought.
Outfit Recommendation:
A simple white Organza saree will be ideal for the first Navratri pooja. Pick one from Taneira’s range of printed or embroidered Organza sarees and pair it with minimal pearl jewellery for a truly graceful look.
For the Khetri Beejna ritual, a subtle white or off-white Banarasi saree can also be a wonderful choice. The zari weaving on the Banarasi sarees adds a touch of tradition, while the colour symbolizes purity and devotion.

Day 2: Red
It is believed that wearing red on the second day of Navratri keeps evil forces at bay. The colour stands for beauty, strength and fearlessness, giving one the courage to stand up for what is right. Red is also often associated with celebration and enthusiasm, and that is yet another reason for you to wear red as you celebrate the festive season with your loved ones.
Outfit Recommendation:
Embrace the festive spirit as you dress up in this traditional red lehenga today. From the floral Sanganeri print to the mirror work tassels, there are countless reasons for you to adorn this lehenga for the first Garba night of the season. Pair the lehenga with statement gold jewellery, get your hands on colourful dandiya sticks and be prepared to dance the night away.
However, if you’re heading to the Garba night straight from work, here is a suggestion that will help you seamlessly transition from your workplace to the festive gala. An A-line kurta or Anarkali suit is a versatile choice that you can dress up or down with accessories. Wear an oxidized long necklace or oversized silver jhumkis with it and you’re all set to soak in the Garba vibe.

Day 3: Blue
Royal blue, symbolic of prosperity, abundance and good health, is associated with the third day of Navratri. Wearing blue on this day brings good luck, success and feelings of well-being.
Outfit Recommendation:
Our designers recommend two types of sarees for today – a woven Bhagalpuri saree or an Ajrakh indigo saree. While the Bhagalpuri saree stands out for its intricate woven patterns and lustrous zari detailing, the indigo sarees remain an all-time favourite with their mix-and-match Ajrakh motifs and contemporary styling. Both of these sarees are ideal for the modern Indian woman who often juggles various roles and responsibilities throughout the day.

Day 4: Yellow
The colour yellow represents all things cheerful. In Indian culture, it also embodies the essence of the harvest season. There are many interesting ways in which we can incorporate the same in our lives. From offering yellow flowers to the Goddess and decorating our homes with yellow drapes to flaunting a striking yellow saree, there are numerous ways devotees seek blessings on this auspicious day.
Outfit Recommendation:
Taneira’s range of festive outfits boasts exquisite yellow sarees that you’d love to adorn. Partake in the festivities as you opt for a very traditional Paithani saree on this day. A yellow Paithani saree looks glorious with its woven pallu that flaunts peacock motifs in bright colours. The rich colours and fine craftsmanship of the saree look best with traditional gold jewellery.
Yet another beautiful choice for today is a lightweight Chanderi saree. Much loved for its flowy silhouette and all-day comfort, a yellow Chanderi saree looks stunning when worn for pujas, get-togethers and small celebrations. Whether paired with traditional jewellery or contemporary accessories, this saree is sure to make you shine during the celebrations.

Day 5: Green
Green represents everything related to nature – growth, fresh energy and hope. Wearing green on the fifth day of Navratri is a wonderful way to seek the Goddess’ blessings and welcome positive changes in one’s life.
Outfit Recommendation:
Taneira’s range of Silk hand-painted sarees are ideal for this day as they reflect the refreshing beauty of nature. Each saree is a piece of wearable art and embodies the calm and growth symbolized by the colour green. Complete your festive look as you pair this saree with handmade shell or bead jewellery.
A green Maheshwari saree with a striking zari border is another recommendation from our designers for this day. Known for their rich cultural heritage, these elegant sarees are apt for the evening aarti. Their lightweight nature ensures that you stay comfortable throughout the festivities.

Day 6: Grey
Associated with the sixth day of Navratri, the colour grey carries a unique significance. It serves as a reminder to stay humble and balanced during the festive period. It's an ideal colour choice for those who wish to radiate calm while embracing the vibrant energy of the season.
Outfit Recommendation:
A hand-embroidered saree in fabrics like Silk, Tissue or Organza is recommended for this day. Taneira’s formal grey sarees provide the perfect backdrop for intricate embroidery. The neutral colour tone allows the detailed craftsmanship to truly stand out, making these sarees a suitable choice for any occasion. Whether adorned with golden zari threads or minimal embellishments, they offer a flawless combination of tradition and modernity.
If you want a more opulent look, go for a grey Kanjivaram saree. Much sought after for its smooth texture and luxurious sheen, this saree exudes a regal charm and looks graceful for day events as well as evening soirées.

Day 7: Orange
Don a radiant orange saree as you offer prayers on the seventh day of Navratri. This vibrant colour represents warmth and exuberance, adding to the festive vibe.
Outfit Recommendation:
Choose from Jamdani sarees or Kantha embroidered sarees as you visit the artistic pandals in your city. Participate in the cultural performances, sing along during the aarti, offer prayers to Goddess Durga, savour delicious Bengali delicacies and take some memorable pictures as you drape your orange saree in the traditional Bengali style.
If you plan to go pandal hopping with loved ones, an orange Banarasi saree is a dressy option too. Its handwoven pallu and sophisticated borders look stunning, especially when paired with traditional gold jewellery.

Day 8: Peacock Green
Ashtami is celebrated in many unique ways across different regions in India. Wearing peacock green on this day fulfils the wishes of the devotees. Associated with nature, growth and fertility, peacock green is believed to bring positive energy into one's life.
Outfit Recommendation:
The refreshing peacock green shade is sure to brighten up your festive wardrobe unlike any other. Plan a fun dandiya outing today and make a statement in a stunning peacock green Leheriya saree draped in the Gujarati front pallu style. The flowing patterns of the saree are in complete sync with the flowy Georgette fabric. What’s more, the lightweight saree is an ideal choice, offering comfort and ease as you sway gracefully to the rhythmic beats of Garba music.
For those of you who host the Ashtami pooja at their homes, opt for a pure Silk Linen embroidered saree. These sarees are complete with floral embroidered motifs, minimal zari borders and a refined elegance that captures the essence of the occasion.

Day 9: Pink
The last day of Navratri is all about love, compassion and kindness, and so dressing up in pink today is considered to be very auspicious. Wearing this calming colour on Navami is a meaningful choice and reflects the spirit of the day, while also inviting warmth into your life.
Outfit Recommendation:
Mark the final day of Navratri with a touch of royalty by choosing a gorgeous Silk Tanchoi saree or a regal Kanjivaram. Both sarees, loved for their rich textures and impeccable workmanship, are perfect for embracing the festive spirit. With their handwoven zari detailing, vibrant hues and the artistic mastery on display, these sarees will undoubtedly make your Navami celebrations special.
