Top discussionWhat Are the Nine Days of Navratri and How Are They Celebrated? Navratri isn't just a festival. It's a feeling, of energy, color, devotion, and togetherness. In India, especially in cities like Mumbai, it's more than just prayer. It’s a full-blown celebration, from spiritual fasting to dancing the night away in dazzling traditional outfits. So, what really happens during the nine days of Navratri? And what does each day represent? Let’s break it down. What Is Navratri All About? Navratri literally means "nine nights" in Sanskrit. It's a Hindu festival dedicated to the divine feminine energy, known as Shakti, and specifically celebrates nine different forms of Goddess Durga. It’s observed twice a year,Chaitra Navratri in spring and Sharad Navratri in autumn. Why Is Navratri Important? Each form of Goddess Durga represents a specific energy—from strength and wisdom to peace and prosperity. Celebrating each form helps devotees connect with these energies in their lives. It’s also about community. Whether you’re in a temple in a small town or dancing at a Navratri night in Mumbai, you’re part of something collective. Day 1 – Shailputri: The Mountain Daughter Color: Orange Meaning: New beginnings, energy, and courage. Goddess Shailputri is worshipped as the daughter of the Himalayas. Her presence marks the start of Navratri with positivity. In Mumbai, the day often starts with women wearing orange sarees or kurtas, heading to temples or organizing small pujas at home. Day 2 – Brahmacharini: The One Who Walks the Path of Knowledge Color: White Meaning: Peace, purity, and devotion. This day is about inner strength and self-discipline. Goddess Brahmacharini walks barefoot through harsh penance to attain wisdom. Coto communities might use this time to share meditative practices or clean eating recipes that align with the spiritual tone of the day. Day 3 – Chandraghanta: The Warrior Form Color: Red Meaning: Passion, fearlessness, and power.
Day 8 – Mahagauri: The Radiant Beauty
Color: Purple
Meaning: Forgiveness, beauty, and purification.
This is the day for Kanya Pujan—where nine young girls are worshipped as embodiments of the goddess.
In Mumbai, many households invite girls from the neighborhood, wash their feet, offer them food, and honor the sacred feminine energy.
Day 9 – Siddhidatri: The Granter of Powers
Color: Peacock Green
Meaning: Wisdom, success, and mysticism.
On this final day, Goddess Siddhidatri blesses her devotees with spiritual and material gifts.
People visit temples, offer sweets, and close the festival with music, devotion, and gratitude.
Navratri in Modern Times: What It Means Today
Navratri today isn’t just a religious observance; it’s a blend of tradition and modern living. From Garba nights in Mumbai to Coto groups sharing their favorite fasting recipes, the essence of the festival lives on in both physical and digital spaces.
Day 4 – Kushmanda: The Creator of the Universe
Color: Royal Blue
Meaning: Calm, confidence, and creativity.
Goddess Kushmanda is believed to have created the universe with a cosmic smile.
In lifestyle spaces like Coto, this day is perfect for art sharing, writing prompts, or even spiritual journaling sessions.
Day 5 – Skandamata: The Mother of Lord Kartikeya
Color: Yellow
Meaning: Happiness, clarity, and motherhood.
Skandamata holds her son, Kartikeya, in her lap—symbolizing nurturing energy and wisdom.
Day 6 – Katyayani: The Goddess of Strength
Color: Green
Meaning: Growth, fertility, and determination.
Worshipped for removing obstacles in love and marriage, Katyayani is fierce yet compassionate.
It’s a popular day for community gatherings. In digital circles like Coto, this is the day people share affirmations, goals, or even relationship advice.
Day 7 – Kalaratri: The Night of the Goddess
Color: Grey
Meaning: Power over fear and ignorance.
