On the ninth day of Navratri, symbolized by the color purple, actress Sapthami Gowda shares her deep affection for the shade and how it has been prominently featured in her wardrobe this festive season. She mentions that while Navratri celebrations are modest in her household, Ayudha Puja and Vijayadashami hold great significance for her family.

Sapthami expresses that to her, purple represents both beauty as well as qualities of ambition and spirituality. She associates this color with her inner quest for knowledge and sees it as encompassing all aspects she values.

Reflecting on her recent celebrations, Sapthami recalls inaugurating the Dasara festivities in Mysuru clad in a purple sari, and visiting temples as a way to honor the divine feminine during this festive period.

She further reminisces about nostalgic moments in her family during Navratri, including participating in rituals like Ayudha Puja with her father's police force comrades, where they would lay out guns alongside lemons for blessings, and during Lakshmi Puja where they would pay respect to their textbooks on the study table. Sapthami appreciates how their culture celebrates even the smallest moments in life.
