As we all know Holi is known to be the festival of colours however, Navratri can be one of the festivals that can showcase some of the most vibrant shades of colours while being celebrated with euphoric presence.

Instead of colours being “thrown at” all over your face and body in Holi,Navratri is a Gujarati festival of dance with 9 nights being dedicated to melodic music and synchronized set of dance moves which looks beautiful while being performed.

This festival for anyone performing or just present to witness would be left in awe and glee, reason being, people wear the best of their attire and if you observe closely most of them wear a similar shade of colour on a given day which is not a coincidence.
