On the ninth day of Navratri, symbolized by the color purple, actress Sapthami Gowda expresses her deep affection for the hue and how it has been a prominent choice in her wardrobe during this festival season. While Navratri celebrations are modest in her home, Ayudha Puja and Vijayadashami are significant occasions for her family. "Purple is a versatile color," she explains. "Not only is it visually appealing, but it also represents ambition and spirituality. As someone focused on inner growth, I find a connection with this color." Recalling her festive experiences, Sapthami recalls inaugurating the Dasara festivities in Mysuru wearing a purple saree, visiting the Chamundeshwari and Kolhapur Mahalakshmi temples – illustrating her connection to the divine feminine. She reminisces about her family's nostalgic traditions during Navratri, such as offering prayers to weapons on Ayudha Puja in her father's police department and honoring their textbooks during Lakshmi Puja. Sapthami appreciates how Indian culture commemorates every small aspect of life with reverence.
