The auspicious festival of Navratri is about to end but not without a bang. The last day of the festival falls a day before Dusshera, so the festive spirit is still in the air. This nine-day long festival is celebrated to mark the victory of Goddess Durga against the mighty demon, Mahishasura. Each day has a certain colour assigned to it and on day nine, we have purple. After wearing yellow, green, grey, white, orange, red, royal blue and pink, you are expected to wear purple coloured outfits on day nine of this holy festival.
