The nine-day festival of Navaratri is here and celebrations have begun. The festivities begin on October 17 and ends on October 25, during which people worship and pray to Goddess Durga Maa and her nine forms. Navratri is celebrated in different parts of the country by following varying customs and traditions. On each of the nine days, specific colours are assigned and Goddess Durga is also dressed in sarees corresponding to the colour. Devotees also dress in the same colour and worship Goddess Durga. However, this year due to COVID-19 pandemic, wearing facemasks have become a norm, hence people will also be coordinating their masks in these colours.
