Nine Navratri Colours and Foods to Celebrate Navratri with :
1. Kesar kheer or halwa – Yellow
The first day is dedicated to Shailputri, who is known to be Goddess Parvati, the daughter of mighty Himalaya. While there are many yellow colour foods that you can have during this day, it’s always good to start with some sweet dish. Prepare kesar ki kheer or kesar ka halwa to commemorate the day.
2. Kacche kele ki barfi- green
The second day is dedicated to goddess Brahmacharini, who was goddess Parvati when she was unmarried. Celebrate this day with raw banana or kachcha kele ki barfi, which is green in colour.
3. Kuttu ki puri- grey
The third day is dedicated to goddess Chandraghanta. This name was derived when goddess Parvati started adorning half Chandra (moon) on her forehead after getting married to Lord Shiva. If you are fasting on this day, you could prepare some kuttu ki sabji or kuttu ki puri
4. Motichoor Laddu- orange
The fourth day is dedicated to Devi Kushmanda, who is also known as the creator of the universe. She is also known as the deity who has the power and capability to reside inside the sun. Motichoor Laddu should be one of the orange sweets you offer it to the deity
5. Makhane ki kheer- white
Goddess Skandamata is worshipped on the fifth day. Skandamata or mother of skanda, also known as lord Kartikeya, is said to ride a lion along with the baby in one of her hands. You may want to prepare makhane ki kheer for this special Navratri 2018 day.
6. Beetroot and carrot juice- red
Goddess Katyayini, the warrior goddess, is worshipped on the sixth day. On this day, red is denoted as an important colour. While there is no specific re-coloured food, you may sip healthy beetroot and carrot juice.
7. Blueberries and prunes- blue
The seventh day is dedicated to Devi Kalaratri, who killed the two demons Shumbha and Nishumbha. Blue makes an important part of the day. While there is no specific blue-coloured food, blueberries and prunes will be a great pick for you. If you are fasting, fruits and dry fruits make an important part.
