[quote=Anonymous]To explain the custom of wearing different colors for different days of Navaratri, the colors correspond to a set of goddesses called the Navadurgas. These are the nine avatars of the great mother, Durga. Each avatar is said to have a special spiritual role to play in the ascension process of the devotee. One Navadurga may represent the emptying bliss of mindfulness, one Navadurga may show us the power of bhakti yoga, one Navadurga may destroy our inner demons, etc. So we wear colors that attract their energies to us.[/quote]
