Happy Navratri and happy DURGA PUJA. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Navratri--or the nine sacred days--mark the most auspicious days of the lunar calendar according to Hinduism. Celebrated with fervour and festivity all over north India, and every Hindu community the world over, these nine days are dedicated solely to Maa Durga (goddess Durga) and her nine avatars.
The prominent story associated with Navratri is the battle that took place between goddess Durga and the demon Mahishasura, who represents egotism. All the nine days of the festival are dedicated to each distinct avatar of the goddess; and each of these days has a significant colour attached to it, which devotees are expected to wear while taking part in the festivities. So, we've tried to break it down in easier terms for you:
The nine avatars of Durga and the colours of each avatar:
- SHAILPUTRI.
- BRAHMCHARINI.
- CHANDRAGHANTA.
- KUSHMUNDA.
- SKAND MATA.
- KATYAYANI.
- KALRATRI.
- MAHA GAURI.
- SIDDHIDATRI.
May God bless you.
