Navratri 2026 Colours: What to Wear Each Day (And What to Do When You Still Can't Decide)
Sharad Navratri 2026 runs October 11 to October 19, with Vijayadashami on the 20th. Here's the day-by-day colour list, and what actually helps once you've picked a colour and are still standing in front of two outfits in that exact shade.
The Navratri 2026 colour calendar
This year's sequence follows the weekday the festival opens on, which is why the colours shift from year to year:
- Day 1, Oct 11 (Sunday): Orange
- Day 2, Oct 12 (Monday): White
- Day 3, Oct 13 (Tuesday): Red
- Day 4, Oct 14 (Wednesday): Royal Blue
- Day 5, Oct 15 (Thursday): Yellow
- Day 6, Oct 16 (Friday): Green
- Day 7, Oct 17 (Saturday): Grey
- Day 8, Oct 18 (Sunday): Purple
- Day 9, Oct 19 (Monday): Peacock Green
Worth knowing: some calendars tie the colours to each day's goddess instead of the weekday, which gives a different order starting with yellow. Neither version is "more correct," it's a modern tradition rather than a religious rule, so go with whichever list your family or community already follows.
Picking the colour is the easy part
The list above solves maybe half the actual problem. Knowing today is "red" still leaves you with a red kurta from one store and a red saree from another, both open in separate tabs, and no real way to tell which one actually looks better until someone else sees it. Colour charts don't settle that kind of decision. A second opinion does.
Where Pikzr fits in
This is exactly the moment Pikzr is built for. Screenshot both outfits, post them side by side, and let your friends vote instead of guessing alone in front of a mirror. If everyone's busy getting ready themselves and you need an answer in the next five minutes, "Ask AI" gives you an instant take so you're not stuck waiting with Ghatasthapana timings running out.
One outfit, nine days, zero regret
Nine days of colour-coordinated outfits is already a lot of planning. The least it should cost you is time spent second-guessing each one. Pick the colour from the calendar above, narrow it down to your two favourites, and let people actually vote.
