How to Choose the Sarees for Navratri Based on Each Day’s Colour
There’s something about Navratri that turns every Indian woman into her own personal stylist.
One minute you’re googling “Navratri 2025 colour chart,” next thing you know, your shopping cart has nine sarees and a backup for Dussehra.
But here’s the thing, picking a saree for each day is not just about colour-matching your calendar. Each hue has its own energy and its own essence inspired by the goddess and cultural energy. The clothing? That’s how you embody it.
So if you're planning your festive fits early this year, here’s the only guide you need to nail every colour, with the right styling tips and sarees that actually make you want to twirl.
Sarees for Navratri
Day 1 - Yellow
Let’s start with yellow, the colour of optimism, warmth, and fresh starts. It’s like stepping into sunlight after a storm.
This day represents Shailaputri, the goddess of grounding and beginnings. You want a saree that lifts the vibe while keeping it real.
The Zehar Shibori Print Satin Gajji Silk Saree brings that sunshine in a bottle energy. In bright mustards and tactile depth, this is made to be blessed and twirled around at poojas or brunch plans.
Wear it with oxidised jewellery, a neat bun with a few strands of mogra, and golden soft but dewy make-up for that freshly-blessed glow.
Day 2 - Green
Green is not only soothing, it is profound, balanced, and grounded. Today, we honour Goddess Brahmacharini, the goddess of education and inner strength.
Connect to that soft confidence using Green Figure Art Kalamkari Print Dola Silk Saree. Each inch has a story that, when you wear it, feels grounded and elevated.
Pair with tribal jewellery, nude lips and a low braided ponytail. Go understated, not underdressed.
Day 3 - Grey
Grey is definitely not boring. It represents mystery, stability and quiet strength - just like the goddess Chandraghanta, who combines peace with fierce protection.
Wear the Grey Zari Checks With Kalamkari Pallu Dola Silk Saree - it's a head-turner that speaks without shouting.
Pair it with bold eyeliner, silver bangles, and a sleek ponytail. This is how you do power dressing, Navratri edition.
Day 4 - Orange
Orange is bold, fiery, and brimming with life, like Kushmanda (the goddess of radiance and creation). Orange is for the days that you want to enter a room and own it.
The Mustard Golden Zari Lace Crush Tissue Saree has all the sparkle, none of the noise. It flows beautifully as crushed tissue sarees are meant to, while the crushed fabric reflects light beautifully.
Style the saree with chunky gold accessories, a red bindi, and a messy bun. Look at you go. You are literally glowing.
Day 5 - White
White is the energy of peace, clarity, and quiet power. It is the energy of Goddess Skandamata - protective, nurturing, and strong, but soft at the same time.
Wear the Chandni Zari Polkadots Dola Silk Saree and lean into the "ethereal but ready to slay" look!
Pearl accessories, effortless soft updo, and fresh pink makeup look tie this whole look together. Add a delicate pearl belt, and your slay is complete.
Day 6 - Red
This is Katyayani’s day, bold, fearless, and unapologetically powerful. And red? Red is not a colour. It’s a whole mood.
The Red Geometric Weave Zari Pattern Dola Silk Saree is sharp, dramatic, and striking, just like your energy today.
Add a statement bold and bright red lip, open curls, and a statement gold jhumka, and now you are ready to walk in like you own the stage.
Day 7 - Royal Blue
Deep, dreamy, and intense, royal blue is all about depth and transformation. Goddess Kaalratri rules this energy, pushing away the darkness and letting the light in.
The Midnight Blue Gold Motifs Dola Silk Saree is the moment. It's like a starlit sky, moving.
Just pair with a smoky eye, glossy hair, and no jewellery, and that's all you need.
Day 8 - Pink
Soft doesn’t mean weak. Pink is joy, love, and playful energy. Goddess Mahagauri brings this fresh, calming vibe into focus.
The Pink Bandhani Print With Sequence Work Dola Silk Saree hits all the right notes; it’s festive, pretty, and has just enough sparkle to stand out.
Style it with soft waves, rose gold highlighter, and a delicate necklace stack. This one’s made for spinning through dandiya circles.
Day 9 - Purple
Purple is powerful, mysterious, and wise. It’s the colour of Siddhidatri, the goddess of spiritual strength and inner completion.
Go all in with the Purple Ghatchola Butti Checks Chinnon Saree. The checkered texture and the butti detailing are as dreamy as it gets.
Add a dramatic eye, a low bun, and temple jewellery for a look that says, “I’ve arrived.”
