Navratri 2026 Day 7: Which Colour To Wear Today? Check Colour, Goddess And Significance
NDTV Profit 1 hr ago·17 Oct 2026, 12:30 am
Navratri’s seventh day, dedicated to the goddess Kalaratri, traditionally advises worshippers to wear the colour black. The day is part of a nine‑night celebration that culminates in a major festive rush across India, with families buying new clothes, jewellery and preparing special meals.
For investors, the colour guidance signals a broader cultural cue that can lift demand for apparel, textiles and related retail sectors. Stores often see a spike in sales of black garments and accessories, while food and travel businesses benefit from increased footfall during the festival period.
Market participants will be watching how the remaining Navratri days and the subsequent Diwali shopping season translate into actual sales figures. Retail earnings reports, inventory levels and consumer sentiment surveys released in the next few weeks will give a clearer picture of the festival’s impact on earnings.
