Navratri, a festival honoring Goddess Durga, has commenced and will conclude with Dussehra. Devotees are partaking in the celebrations with zeal and dedication, sharing their experiences on social media. Among them is Lalitha Narayanaswami, an elderly woman who provided a masterclass to the younger generation on the colors to wear for each of the nine days of the festival.
Lalitha, who operates the Instagram account @tales.by.granny, posted a video outlining the specific hues to choose for each day of Navratri. In her caption, she wished her followers well, stating, “Happy Navratri to all my children & grandchildren! God bless you all with health, wealth & prosperity! May all the virtues of Nav Durga (9 Durga avatars) be with you, always! Yours lovingly,” signing off with “Paati” (granny).
