Navratri 2026 Colours: 9 Days, 9 Silver Jewellery Looks

Sharad Navratri 2026 begins on Sunday, 11 October with Ghatasthapana and runs for nine nights until Monday, 19 October, with Dussehra (Vijayadashami) on Tuesday, 20 October. For many of us, the most fun part of the planning is the colour of the day — the one shade the whole office, society or garba group agrees to wear.

The outfit is usually sorted. What gets forgotten is the jewellery. A small coloured-stone nose pin or a pair of studs in the day's shade makes the look feel finished — and because every piece below is 925 sterling silver, you can wear it all nine days without irritation, then keep wearing it long after the festival.

Navratri 2026 colours: the day-wise list

• Day 1 – 11 Oct (Sunday): Orange – Maa Shailaputri
• Day 2 – 12 Oct (Monday): White – Maa Brahmacharini
• Day 3 – 13 Oct (Tuesday): Red – Maa Chandraghanta
• Day 4 – 14 Oct (Wednesday): Royal Blue – Maa Kushmanda
• Day 5 – 15 Oct (Thursday): Yellow – Maa Skandamata
• Day 6 – 16 Oct (Friday): Green – Maa Katyayani
• Day 7 – 17 Oct (Saturday): Grey – Maa Kalaratri
• Day 8 – 18 Oct (Sunday): Purple – Maa Mahagauri
• Day 9 – 19 Oct (Monday): Peacock Green – Maa Siddhidatri

The colour of Day 1 follows the weekday Navratri starts on, which is why the order changes every year. Tithi timings can shift by a day in some regions, so do check your local panchang for Ashtami and Navami.

Day 1 – Orange: warm gold tones

Orange is about energy and a bright start. Silver with a warm gold-plated finish sits beautifully against orange and marigold shades. The Classic Gold Ball Nose Pin (₹699) is a tiny, simple stud that suits a first-day puja look without competing with a bright dupatta.

Day 2 – White: pure sparkle

White calls for clean, bright stones. Our best-selling Round Bezel Nose Pin (₹799) is a white CZ set in a smooth silver bezel — minimal, secure and easy to wear for a long puja. Want something softer? The Pearl Solitaire Nose Pin (₹999) pairs perfectly with a white chikankari kurta.

Day 3 – Red: the classic festive shade

Red is the colour most closely tied to the Goddess, so it is worth wearing a proper red stone. The Ruby Red Flower Nose Pin (₹1,399) has a floral cluster that reads beautifully from a distance, while the Red Ruby Round Bezel Nose Pin (₹999) is the subtle option for office days.

Day 4 – Royal Blue: deep and regal

Royal blue looks rich with silver. Go for the Blue Sapphire Flower Nose Pin (₹1,399), or match your earrings with the Blue Trinity 3-Stone Cluster Studs (₹1,499).

Day 5 – Yellow: sunshine for Skandamata

Yellow is cheerful and very photogenic. The Citrine Yellow Sunburst Nose Pin (₹1,499) is a statement piece, while the Yellow Citrine Round Bezel Nose Pin (₹999) adds just a hint of colour.

Day 6 – Green: fresh and lucky

Green brings calm and growth. The Emerald Green Leaf Nose Pin (₹1,499) is shaped like a small leaf — a lovely match for the theme. For a lighter green, try the Peridot Green Flower Nose Pin (₹1,499).

Day 7 – Grey: the oxidised silver day

Grey is the one day where oxidised silver is the perfect match — its dark, antique finish blends with grey and charcoal fabrics. The Om Nose Pin (₹999) and Trishul Nose Pin (₹899) carry devotional motifs that feel right for Navratri. See all designs in our oxidised nose pin collection.

Day 8 – Purple: Ashtami elegance

Purple feels royal and a little dramatic. The Amethyst Purple Halo Nose Pin (₹1,399) has a purple centre stone framed by white CZ — enough sparkle for Ashtami puja and kanya pujan.

Day 9 – Peacock Green: finish on a high

Peacock green is the most fun colour of the nine. Our customer-favourite Peacock Nose Pin (₹799) is the obvious pick. Want a bigger statement for the last garba night? Add the Blue Peacock Feather Pendant (₹3,199).

Smart tip: build one small colour kit

You don't need nine new sets. A white CZ stud, one oxidised piece and two or three coloured-stone nose pins cover most days. Browse the full coloured stone nose pin collection to pick the shades you'll actually wear again. Not pierced? Try our clip-on and no-piercing options.
