During Navratri, nine days of mythic drama and devotion honor the nine avatars of Goddess Durga. Each avatar—from Shailaputri to Siddhidhatri—embodies divine traits and is celebrated through a specific color. Worn daily in the U.S., these colorful rituals combine ancient Hindu mythology with vibrant community gatherings. From purity and strength to spiritual growth, the festival invites participants to embody Durga’s cosmic energy and tap into transformative blessings.
