On the ninth day of Navratri, symbolized by the color purple, actress Sapthami Gowda shares her enduring fondness for the hue, stating that it has been prominently part of her festive wardrobe this season. In her household, Navratri celebrations are understated, but Ayudha Puja and Vijayadashami hold great significance. Describing purple as a versatile color that embodies ambition and spirituality, Sapthami expresses her affinity for it, associating it with inner growth. She reflects on the spiritual connection she felt during the festival, particularly during the inauguration of Dasara festivities in Mysuru while dressed in a purple sari. These rituals included visits to Chamundeshwari and Kolhapur Mahalakshmi temples, emphasizing the presence of the divine feminine in her celebrations. Recalling nostalgic memories of past Navratri celebrations, Sapthami fondly remembers Ayudha Puja ceremonies at her father's police department, where guns were displayed with lemons as offerings. Additionally, she treasures the tradition of honoring textbooks during Lakshmi Puja, appreciating how their culture reveres every aspect of life.
