(Image Credits: Pinterest) Navratri is a vibrant and spiritual nine-day Hindu festival that is celebrated with great enthusiasm across the nation. The festival symbolises the victory of good over evil and each day is dedicated to a form of Goddess Durga, with a colour associated with a specific goddess. Wearing different colours every day is considered to be sacred and devotees wear the shades to honour the goddess and participate in all the festivities.
Embracing the different colours of Navratri during these nine days, the seventh day is celebrated as Maha Saptami and is celebrated by donning clothes in the shade of royal blue. On the seventh day, devotees pray to Kalaratri devi, the seventh form of Goddess Durga, who is also said to be the fiercest form of the goddess. She is the destroyer of demons, negative energies, and evil spirits.
She is also known as Goddess Shubhankari and makes her devotees fearless, granting them supernatural skills and riches. To honour the goddess, let’s think of some ethnic ideas that can be worn in the shade of royal blue. Royal blue half-sari Sari dates back to almost 5,000 years and is said to have evolved from a subtle piece of fabric draped around the body in minimal drapes.
But now, it has become an ensemble which truly complements Indian women. A royal blue affair with stunning embroidery and embellishments can be worn with a stylish yet traditional design. (Image Credits: Pinterest) Royal blue sherwani Sherwani is mainly a formal coa.
