Her mother also adds that, for her, orange symbolizes knowledge. Rukmini fondly remembers her Navratri traditions, including dancing Dandiya at night, which was a rare and special treat allowed by her strict mother."Still, when asked about her favorite memory of the festive season, Rukmini recalls the joy of dancing during Navratri with her teacher. She notes that the definition of festivals has evolved over time, reflecting on the diminishing frequency of Dandiya nights compared to her childhood.
