Navratri 2025 Day 6 Goddess, Colour: The six-day celebrations of Sharadiya Navratri continue across India with devotion, music, and traditional rituals. On the sixth day of Navratri, Goddess Katyayani is worshipped. She is revered as a form of Goddess Durga who blesses devotees with marital harmony and fulfilment of desires. Devotees believe that prayers offered to Maa Katyayani can help alleviate issues related to marriage and relationships.
Navratri Day 6: Colour
The colour for day 6 of Navratri, dedicated to Goddess Katyayani, is Grey. According to Drik Panchang, Grey symbolises emotional balance and a grounded personality. It’s an ideal choice for those who wish to celebrate Navratri with elegance while making a subtle style statement.
Navratri Day 6: Vrat Katha
According to Hindu scriptures, Sage Katyayana was a devoted worshipper of Goddess Durga. Through years of rigorous penance, he pleased the goddess, who appeared before him and granted him a boon: she would take birth as his daughter. Known as Mother Katyayani, she retained her father’s gotra throughout her life, as per tradition, and became the presiding deity of the Braj region.
Legend also states that the Gopis of Braj worshipped Maa Katyayani to attain Lord Krishna as their husband. This association has made her the goddess of marital blessings, and devotees continue to offer prayers for harmony and fulfillment in married life.
