Chaitra Navratri begins on March 22 and will end on March 30.
Navratri celebration brings in specific colours for each form of the Goddess.
Chaitra Navratri, also known as Vasant Navratri, is one of the most popular festivals Hindus observe. For nine days, Goddess Durga’s nine different forms are worshipped. The last day of Chaitra Navratri is Ram Navami. This year Chaitra Navratri will be observed from March 22 and will end on March 30. A major part of the Navratri celebration has to do with specific colours for each form of the Goddess. It is believed that these different colours have a specific effect and are considered to be auspicious. To uphold the significance, devotees who take part in the festival wear clothes of different colours during the nine days of Navratri.
