The nine-day festival begins this year on October 3. Each day is devoted to one of Ma Durga's nine avatars -- Goddess Shailputri, Goddess Brahmacharini, Goddess Chandraghanta, Goddess Kushmanda, Goddess Skandamata, Goddess Katyayani, Goddess Kalaratri, Goddess Mahagauri and Goddess Siddhidatri.
This celebratory colour is the perfect pick for adding that spark to your festive wardrobe.
'It is in the form of the nava shaktis that Durga or Adi Shakti lives inside everyone.'
The idol of the goddess was taken to the temple in a silver palanquin, shouldered by Adityanath.
