On the ninth day of Navratri, symbolized by the color purple, actress Sapthami Gowda expresses her enduring love for the shade and reveals that it has been prominently featured in her wardrobe this festive season. She explains that while Navratri celebrations are relatively subdued in her home, Ayudha Puja and Vijayadashami hold great significance for her family. According to Sapthami, purple is a versatile color, representing not just beauty, but also ambition and spirituality. She associates the color with inner growth and feels that it encompasses various qualities. Having initiated the Dasara festivities in Mysuru clad in a purple sari, she visited both the Chamundeshwari temple and the Kolhapur Mahalakshmi temple, emphasizing the presence of the divine feminine in her celebrations. Recalling her family's nostalgic Ayudha Puja traditions at her father's police department, Sapthami fondly remembers paying respects to the displayed guns with lemon offerings. Similarly, during Lakshmi Puja, they would honor their textbooks on the study table, appreciating the significance of these small rituals in celebrating cultural traditions.
