Navratri Colours 2026: 9 Days, Dates & Outfit Ideas
The October Navratri colour calendar runs from 11 to 19 October 2026. Start with orange on Sunday, then follow the nine-day chart below. Find ideas for wearing each shade through a salwar suit, dupatta or accessories, with practical choices for puja, garba and dandiya.
Nine colours without nine new suits
Build around pieces you already enjoy wearing. A white or cream suit can take orange, red or yellow accents; a blue base can be restyled with green or purple details; a grey set can work with a brighter dupatta or jewellery. Treat these as combinations to try, not a requirement to match every shade exactly.
Lay out your suits, dupattas and accessories together before buying. Note which colours are already covered and choose any additions for repeat wear after Navratri. If you prefer a quieter look, keep the main outfit neutral and use the colour in a scarf, earrings or bangles.

Before you order your Navratri outfit
- Check the format. Unstitched fabric needs time for tailoring. Ready-to-wear pieces still need a size and measurement check.
- Read what is included. Jewellery, footwear and accessories shown in photographs may be styling items. Confirm the listed pieces and lining details.
- Plan for movement. Check sleeve ease, trouser fit, hem length and dupatta handling for dancing.
- Check the dispatch estimate. Allow time for delivery and any alterations. Ready-to-ship does not mean same-day arrival.
- Read the applicable terms. Shipping, COD and returns depend on the product, order and supported delivery location.
Our fabric guide explains more of the details to compare. If time is short, browse the ready-to-ship collection and check the individual dispatch information.
