Welcome to the second part in the 4 part series on Navratri (Durga Navami) about the Form of the Goddess to be worshipped on each day of Navratri and their associations.
Durga Navami is celebrated by worshipping the different forms of Goddess Durga – By propitiating them on their particular days you strengthen the planets they are associated with.
Hence, you also strengthen all the Navgrahas.
The Table below illustrates the Day, Planet and Color & effects associated with each worshiping each Goddess –
| Day | Goddess | Planet | Color | Effects |
| 1st Day | Gd. Shailputri | Moon | Grey | Awakens the Root chakra. Diminishes any signs on ailment. |
| 2nd Day | Gd. Bharmacharini | Mars | Orange | Strengthens the mind & develops good morals |
| 3rd Day | Gd. Chandraganta | Venus | White | Awakens the Solar Plexus chakra. Reduces the worldly problems faced by one. |
| 4th Day | Gd. Krishmanda | Sun | Red | Awakens the Heart Chakra. Bestows boon & prosperity. |
| 5th Day | Gd. Skand Mata | Saturn | Dark Blue | Awakens the Throat chakra. Brings calm & peace to the individual. |
| 6th Day | Gd. Kayayani | Jupiter | Yellow | Awakens the Third Eye Charkra. Removes any illnesses indicated in horoscope. |
| 7th Day | Gd. Kaalratri | Mercury | Green | Awakens Sacral the chakra. Removes ill effects caused by diseases. |
| 8th Day | Gd. Mahagauri | Rahu | Peacock Green | Awakens the Crown chakra. |
| 9th Day | Gd. Shiddhidatri | Ketu | Purple | Bestows special siddhis. |
Please Note – Please show the individual’s detailed birth chart to a qualified Astrologer before recommending any Puja with the mind of remedying any afflictions in the birth chart.
Note: if any planet is weak in your Astrological chart, it is especially beneficial to do the Puja, jaap, etc on it’s particular day.

Thank you for visiting. Yes, it is fascinating how its all interlinked and logic based! Nothing has been left out 🙂
This is interesting, bookmarking it for future reference.
For us Bengalis , Durga ma is very special , but unlike many who follow navratri we don’t have colours , but I loved knowing about all the chakras . Have previously done the same during my 9 months of pregnancy . Chakra meditations.
Very interesting article. Good to know the aspects of Durga Navmi and significance of each day.
Lately I have come across so many variations of healing the chakras, that this post comes as an addition to the same domain. Thanks for this really helpful post.
Thank you Anupriya for visiting ☺️I am glad you liked the post. ☺️
Nice post, things explained in details. Thank You.
Thank you ☺️ next in the series coming soon this week ☺️
I browsed through your blog and read a lot of your posts . I am so awed by the depth of your understanding about various disciplines. I am sure I am going to come here often from now on.
Thank you Deepali. Big thanks for visiting & browsing & sharing your thoughts ☺️ I look forward to seeing you again.
Navratri is such a powerful time of the year and I feel truly blessed to know that the Goddess is worshiped in so many forms.
Thank you 🙂 Welcome!
Nice write up sharing details of all 9 days and its effects and goddess associated.
I knew the Goddess names but wasn’t aware about it’s association with the chakras. Something new I learned today.
Thanks Alpana – you are right, it isn’t often spoken of, but as you know, everything is connected.
The series is really so informative and really love the most about this colorful festival is the story of each Maa Durga and dance.
Thank you Ruchie, I am so glad you found it be helpful.
I knew the colours, but not what they signify. Loved the post and didn’t know that chakras have anything to do with divinity. Thanks for sharing.
This is such an enriching and interesting Navratri series, The various forms of the GODDESS to be worshiped on each day of Navratri and their associations with the Root chakras are very enlightening.
My parents perform a detailed puja during all 9 days of Navratri. but here in USA I am not able to do that much. I was not aware about the chakra association with 9 days of Navratri. thanks for enhancing my knowledge in this aspect.
9 days are so aspicious and the kind of detailed information you shared about Navratri is really insightful!!
Navratri is the time to feel blessed and energetic. Knowledge about our rituals and customs is surely a great way to connect more deeply. Thanks for sharing.
