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.
White is the perfect shade to express calm elegance even as you make a striking statement during the festivities.
'It is in the form of the nava shaktis that Durga or Adi Shakti lives inside everyone.'
