India is a land of festivals and celebrations. It is also known as a land of rituals and religious beliefs. Festivals and celebrations are an integral part of every household no matter from which economic strata he or she belongs.

One such festival is Navratri is the festival of nine nights. It is celebrated to mark the triumph of good over evil. During these nine days we revere the various forms of the Devi or Goddess. We also follow the colors for each day, which are symbolic of our association with nature

These nine days end with Dusshera which is also known as VijayaDashmi.

This year Navratri commences on 29th September and will go on till 7th October. It is a common practice for people to follow the nine colors of the Goddess. People believe that following the colors is a sign of reverence to the Goddess. This is a part of the rituals to be followed and even the urban population tends to follow this trend.
