Navratri 2021 Day 1: A look at fashion cues from Bollywood’s closet

The festival of Navratri is celebrated to commemorate the victory of Goddess Durga (representing good) over the demon Mahishasura (representing evil). 

During these nine days, each day is devoted to the nine incarnations of Goddess Durga. To worship these incarnations, each day is also assigned a colour.
