Hues of Navratri: Celebrate Every Shade of the Festive Spirit

Navratri, the nine-night festival honouring the divine feminine, is a time of spiritual reflection, joyous celebration, and vibrant colours. Each day of this auspicious festival is associated with a specific colour, each carrying its own significance and energy. The Bombay Store is delighted to guide you through this colourful journey, helping you embrace the spirit of Navratri with our thoughtfully curated selections. Let's explore the rich palette of Navratri and discover how you can incorporate our meaningful objects into your festivities.

Day 1: Yellow - The Glow of New Beginnings

As the festival of Navratri commences, we embrace the colour yellow, symbolising the radiant energy of new beginnings. Yellow, the colour of the sun, represents optimism, happiness, and intellectual wisdom. It's believed to activate the solar plexus chakra, enhancing our personal power and confidence. At The Bombay Store, we offer a stunning array of yellow sling bags such as the Madhubani Faux Leather Square Sling Bag. This stylish bag will help you shine through the season. If you find that sling bags are an accessory for women, there is also an option of opting for a Madhubani Square Wallet that can well-suited to men. We also have the Madhubani Digital Printed Umbrella - a perfect accompaniment to make any rainy or sunny day vibrant and delightful! The Bombay Store’s offerings will help you embody the bright spirit of the first day.

Day 2: Green - Growth and Harmony

On the second day, we transition to green, the colour of nature, growth, and harmony. Green represents the heart chakra, fostering love, compassion, and balance. It's a colour that reminds us of new life and the nurturing energy of Mother Earth. Our collection at The Bombay Store features a variety of green shades to suit every preference. Take a look at the delicately carved green Amazonite stone Ganesha with Laxmi & Saraswati. This will surely bring a touch of divinity and subtle elegance to your space. Our Lemongrass Scented Tealight Candles are here to light up any occasion. The soft and luminous glow of the colour green is a perfect way to invoke the blessings of Goddess Durga on this auspicious occasion.

Day 3: Grey - Balance and Stability

The third day of Navratri is dedicated to grey, a colour that represents balance, stability, and neutrality. Grey is the colour of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It's a grounding colour that helps calm the mind and balance emotions. At The Bombay Store, we offer sophisticated grey options that are far from dull. Our silver jewellery collection available at our physical stores, perfectly complements the grey theme, adding a touch of traditional charm to your ensemble. If you want to opt for an iconic piece, the exquisite Silver Urli Ganesha is sure to make any space radiate with the unique essence of silver.

Day 4: Orange - Warmth and Creativity

Day 5: White - Purity and Peace

Midway through Navratri, we celebrate with white, the colour of purity, peace, and innocence. White represents clarity and the opening of new doors in life. It's associated with the crown chakra, connecting us to higher consciousness. At The Bombay Store, we offer a range of pristine white marble idols that are anything but plain.

The sixth day bursts forth with the powerful energy of red. This intense colour symbolises passion, love, and strength. Red is linked to the root chakra, grounding us and boosting our confidence and vitality. The Bombay Store's red collection is designed to make a bold statement. Our King Procession Enamel Round Tray is a vibrant statement piece that lays a strong imprint wherever its placed. If you want to make a bold fashion statement with a touch of handcrafted wonder, then the Ajrakh PU Leather Tote Bag does the job! It is reminiscent of the authentic craft of Gujarat.

Day 7: Royal Blue - Power and Confidence

As we enter the seventh day, we can immerse ourselves in the regal shade of royal blue. This majestic colour represents power, confidence, and communication. Associated with the throat chakra, blue encourages self-expression and truth. Our Blue Pottery Indigo Coffee Mug will surely make your mornings blissful with its soothing blue hues.

Day 8: Pink - Compassion and Nurture

The eighth day of Navratri is celebrated with pink, the colour of universal love and nurturing. Pink represents compassion, kindness, and affection. It's a gentle yet powerful colour that opens the heart and soothes emotions. The Bombay Store’s Pink Molidora Diary with Center Stitch makes for a perfect diary to key in personal reflections or jot down your brilliant ideas. If there are kids around then you can imbibe cultural lessons into them with the charming Lavani Doll Dancer, a symbol of the dance form of the rich Maharashtrian culture.

Day 9: Purple - Spiritual Insight

As Navratri culminates, we embrace the mystical allure of purple. This colour represents spiritual insight, wisdom, and transformation. Purple is associated with the third eye chakra, enhancing intuition and connecting us to our higher selves. At The Bombay Store, we have unique selections, designed to help you make a lasting impression on this final day of celebration. The Nandi Fridge Magnet with a purple background is sure to impress anyone, and is also a great way to teach kids about the beloved bull of Lord Shiva. On the other hand, if you want to bring in some fun, then have some shots of your favourite drink with our Elephant Tusker shot glasses set!

The day following the conclusion of Navratri is celebrated as Dussehra, commemorating Lord Ram's triumph over the ten-headed demon King Ravana. This festival represents the victory of good over evil.
