Here is the Navratri 9 colours list with one outfit idea per day. Not sure what to wear on Navratri each day? Start here. Each pick brings the Navratri 2026 colours to life in a Jaipur craft. Prices are as listed at the time of writing and may change.
Day 1: Orange (Sunday, 11 October), Maa Shailputri
Orange stands for energy and a fresh start. It suits the first day of puja at home. Choose a saffron or burnt orange suit set with a light dupatta. Add gold jhumkas and tan juttis. Browse warm festive shades in our new arrivals.
Day 2: White (Monday, 12 October), Maa Brahmacharini
White reflects calm and purity. It is also an easy choice for a Monday at work. Pick a light cotton or muslin set with a soft dupatta. Pearl studs finish the look. For ready-to-wear options, explore our stitched suit sets.
Day 3: Red (Tuesday, 13 October), Maa Chandraghanta
Red signals courage and celebration. It is also the most photographed shade of the festival. Try our Red Lehariya suit set with a Patola print dupatta. It is made in Dola silk with gota and hand work on the neck. It costs ₹6,750. Keep jewellery simple, because the dupatta does the talking.
Day 4: Royal Blue (Wednesday, 14 October), Maa Kushmanda
Royal blue feels calm and sharp. It works well in the middle of a busy week. Try the Red and Blue Ajrakh print crepe A-line suit set at ₹6,750. The blue in the Ajrakh print carries the day’s colour. The red adds a festive touch.
Day 5: Yellow (Thursday, 15 October), Maa Skandamata
Yellow brings joy and warmth. Try the Mustard and Blue Ajrakh block print Farshi salwar set in muslin at ₹6,750. The wide Farshi salwar moves well. That makes it a good pick for Garba too.
Day 6: Green (Friday, 16 October), Maa Katyayani
Green is one of the most loved Navratri 2026 colours. It stands for growth and new beginnings. Our Pista Green suit set has a scallop dupatta with hand work. It costs ₹8,990 and suits an evening of celebration. Pair it with gold-toned jewellery.
Day 7: Grey (Saturday, 17 October), Maa Kalaratri
Grey can feel plain at a festival, so give it some lift. Choose a soft dove or silver-grey kurta set. Then add colour through the dupatta and jewellery. Explore our kurta sets for a clean, minimal base.
Day 8: Purple (Sunday, 18 October), Maa Mahagauri
Purple signals grace and ambition. Day 8 is also Durga Ashtami, so many families dress up for puja. Look for lavender or deep plum in a handcrafted block print set. Check our bestsellers for the purple block print suit set. Stock can change fast.
Day 9: Peacock Green (Monday, 19 October), Maa Siddhidatri
Peacock green is a deep blue-green. It closes the festival with richness. Day 9 is Maha Navami, a day for special puja. Some lists use a different shade for this day, so check yours first. Our Aqua Blue Mul Chanderi suit set with a Kota Doriya dupatta is a close match. It is on offer at ₹5,250, down from ₹5,795.

Navratri suits for women should balance comfort and shine. Here is a simple guide to common fabrics:
| Fabric | Comfort for dancing | Dressiness |

Are the Navratri 2026 Colours Mandatory?
No. The Navratri 2026 colours are a tradition, not a religious rule. The order also changes each year with the starting weekday. A recent Gulf News guide notes that dates follow the Hindu lunar calendar. Puja timings can vary by city.
Wear the day’s colour when you join a group event. On other days, wear what feels right. Check your local panchang for exact timings.
