As last year also I have given colors of sarees to wear on nine days of Navaratri, swati told me to post colors for this year also.
Navaratri is celebrated in different ways throughout India. In North India, all three Navratris are celebrated with much fervor by fasting on all nine days and worshipping the Goddess Parvati in her different forms.The Sharad Navratri culminates in Durga Puja and Dussehra. The Dussehra of Kulu in Himachal Pradesh is particularly famous in the North.
In the South Indian states of Tamil Nadu & Karnataka, Sharad Navratri is celebrated by setting up of Golu. They invite their family members to home to celebrate the festivities with them.
The last four days of Sharad Navratri take on a particularly dramatic form in the state of West Bengal in East India where they are celebrated as Durga Puja. This is the biggest festival of the year in this state. Exquisitely crafted and decorated life-size clay idols of the Goddess Durga depicting her slaying the demon Mahisasura are set up in temples and other places.
In West India, Sharad Navratri is celebrated with the famous Garba dance.
Navratri is divided into sets of three days to adore three different aspects of the supreme goddess or goddesses as first three days the goddess is invoked as a spiritual force called Durga also known as kali in order to destroy all our impurities, then next three days the Mother is adored as a giver of spiritual wealth, Lakshm and final three days is spent in worshipping the goddess of wisdom, Saraswati. In order to have all-round success in life.

your telling us to wear these colors bt i hve heard different colors in other site so can u plz tel me which is the correct one
These are correct colors to wear. I m 100% sure thats why I have posted them 2 days back only. Many sites has posted colors many days back and those are last years colors.
These are correct.
You can cross check my last years colors. Many sites has posted those colors for 2008 which is really wrong.
thanks for posting. If u don’t mind me asking how do u figure out what colors to wear every year??? is there a book???
Is that real colour to wear,because some are other & only your site said different colour.Why?
thnx dear for your reply and support
wish u a happy navratri
I just wanted to thank you for posting these colours for Navaratri every year I can imagine it takes some work on your part. I have one silly question though, if we wear the wrong colour on the wrong day (for us in Canada it’s getting cool and a sari might be abit light) what can we expect to happen?
its v good that u have given colurs. thanks for that
Its my pleasure, Wish you all Happy Navaratri.
Maggie,
Its not necessary to wear saree with those colors. I stay in India and I wear panjabi dress of that color. and my sister wear jeans and T-shirt or top of that color. You can wear pullover also. Its good to wear those colors in Navaratri, what are you wearing its not important.
Kavita,
These are real colors to wear. As you told me I have seen one or two sites but they have given last year’s (2007) colors. You can cross check those colors on my site. I am 100% sure about these colors.
Thank you Namrata, it’s abit of a trip to talk to my Pandit about these things so I really appreciate you helping me out. Happy Navaratri Namaste.
