On the ninth day of Navratri, symbolized by the color purple, actress Sapthami Gowda shares her enduring affection for this shade and reveals how it has been a prominent choice in her wardrobe this festive season. In discussing her family's traditions, Sapthami mentions that while their Navratri celebrations are modest, Ayudha Puja and Vijayadashami hold significant importance. She emphasizes the versatility of purple, appreciating its beauty as well as its representation of ambition and spirituality. For her, purple embodies qualities of inner learning that resonate deeply. Reflecting on her recent experiences, she describes inaugurating the Dasara festivities in Mysuru wearing a purple sari, visiting revered temples, and emphasizing the presence of the divine feminine in her celebrations. Recalling nostalgic moments with her family during Navratri, she reminiscences about Ayudha Puja rituals at her father's police department, where they would honor the weapons with lemon offerings, and their Lakshmi Puja tradition of respecting their textbooks. Sapthami appreciates the rich cultural significance and the celebration of every aspect of life in their family customs.
