During the ninth day of Navratri, symbolized by the color purple, actress Sapthami Gowda discusses her strong affinity for the shade and how it has been a prominent feature in her wardrobe this festive season. Sapthami reveals that while Navratri celebrations are understated in her family, Ayudha Puja and Vijayadashami hold special significance for them. "Purple is a versatile color," she says. "Not only is it visually appealing, but it also represents ambition and spirituality, qualities that resonate with me as someone who values inner growth. It truly has it all." Sharing her experiences, Sapthami recalls inaugurating the Dasara festivities in Mysuru clad in a purple sari, offering prayers at Chamundeshwari temple, and visiting Kolhapur Mahalakshmi temple, embracing the essence of the divine feminine this festive season. Reflecting on her family's traditions, she reminisces about Ayudha Pujas at her father's police department, where guns would be displayed on tables adorned with lemons for reverence, as well as the Lakshmi Puja where reverence was paid to textbooks placed on study tables. Sapthami appreciates how their culture cherishes every small element of life during this nostalgic time of Navratri.
