DAY 5 - YELLOW: HAPPINESS & POSITIVITY There is nothing quite so cheerful as yellow. For Navratri's fifth day, you can wear a lovely yellow machined kurta set with chikankari or threadwork.

DAY 7 - GRAY: STRENGTH & BALANCE Gray may sound dull, but gray can be so metropolitan and elegant. A light gray or cream-toned kurta with either floral or simple thread work is a good option for today. Match it with darker bottoms to contrast it, and make sure you finish with ethnic shoes. Example style : A cream-kurta with beautiful flower work can appear less intense while subtly reflecting the theme of gray.

DAY 8 - PURPLE: AMBITION & CREATIVITY Purple is associated with richness and creativity. Men are encouraged to wear kurta sets entirely in a deeper shade of violet or a plum color today. Look for lighter embroidery to keep the piece more balanced. Purple will go equally well with a beige or off-white churidar and will definitely leave a royal or festive feel.
