The nation as a whole rejoices and makes a big deal out of Navratri. The world refers to our nation as Incredible India, and we should be glad to live in a place where many traditions, cultures, and customs coexist. In Karnataka, Navratri is known as Dasara. Mysore hosts the well-known Karnataka festival of Dasara. Dancing, calling on relatives, and giving out treats are all part of the Navratri celebrations. A few people observe the fast as well and feast lavishly to honour it. The nine days of this festival are devoted to the nine incarnations of the goddess Durga. For these nine days, the colour changes every year. The following list contains the colours for 2022.
1st Day: Shailaputri
This day, often referred to as Pratipada (first day), is connected to Goddess Shailaputri, a manifestation of Parvati. She is also portrayed as Mahakali's first incarnation. The Goddess is adored on the first day as Shailaputri, which is Sanskrit for "daughter of the mountain." Lord Shiva's spouse Parvati is known as Shailaputri. White, the colour of the day, stands for tranquilly and harmony.
2nd Day: Brahmacharini
The second day is devoted to Goddess Brahamacharini's worship. She is merely the unmarried version of Goddess Parvati in embodiment form. Additionally, the day's chosen colour, red, stands for vigour and tenacity.
3rd day: Chandraghanta
The worship rituals of the Goddess Chandraghanta, who was given the name because of the half-moon on her forehead, are commemorated on the third day of the Navratri festival. She epitomises boldness and is the definition of beauty. The third day is symbolised by the colour blue. It stands for stability and emotional equilibrium.
4th day: Kushmanda
The name Chaturthi alludes to the creative force of the cosmos and is connected to the worship of the goddess Kushmanda. The colour yellow, which stands for joy and brightness, is related to this day. Goddess Kushmanda is seen riding a tiger and has eight arms. The goddess stands for earthly vegetation.
5th day: Skandamata
Goddess Skandamata, who is adored as Skanda or Kartikeya's mother, is worshipped on the fifth day. The colour for the fifth day is green, which symbolises peace and life.
6th day: Katyayani
We picture Goddess Katyayani riding a four-armed lion on the sixth day. Additionally, this avatar represents bravery. A four-handed warrior Goddess is seen sitting on a lion. The colour for the sixth day is grey, which symbolises neutrality and balance in life as well as the power of transformation.
7th day: Kaalaratri
The Goddess Mahakali is portrayed in her most terrible form on the seventh day. Or, to put it another way, destroying demons makes her rage-red. The day's colour is orange. It represents the overwhelming tranquilly that follows the death of evil.
8th day: Mahagauri
The goddess Mahagauri, who represents wisdom and serenity, is honoured on the eighth day. Peacock Green is a colour that connotes kindness and vitality.
9th day: Siddhidatri
At last, on the ninth day, also referred to as Navmi. Goddess Siddhidatri, who embodies both the knowledge and beauty of nature, is prayed to while she sits on a lotus. The final day's colour is pink, which stands for generosity, harmony, and love.
Each of the nine days has a separate ritual related with one of the goddess Durga's nine various incarnations.
