Nine colourful days of Navratri 

Navratri is celebrated with immense zeal and enthusiasm across the country.  The nine-day celebration marks the triumph of good over evil while highlighting the importance of spreading love and kindness among all. And each day of the Navratri festival is dedicated to a colour that has its own significance.

Thus, infusing joy and positivity to this year’s festivities,  Apeejay family together marked the ‘Festive Colour Celebration’, a unique and beautiful initiative led by the Human Resource Department of Apeejay Education. 

Each Apeejay member marked the nine-day celebration by embracing the festive colour with much enthusiasm. Each colour held a special significance and Apeejay members immersed themselves in this celebration as they incorporated these colours into their workwear at the office.

“This Navratri, the Apeejay family enthusiastically embraced the festive vibe. As we wanted to usher in the festivities with all shades of joy, we dedicated each day of this nine-day festival to a distinctive colour which depicted a particular aspect of positivity. Keeping up with this festive zeal, we incorporated these colours into our workwear at the office. And with the support and blessings of our honourable Chairperson, the ‘Festive Color Celebration’ initiative turned out to be a huge success.”

The celebration commenced on October 16 with the colour white that represented purity, peace, and prayer, aiding in mental clarity. The colour of day 2 was red that signified power and passion, bolstering determination and courage. The next colour was blue that reflected calmness and depth, aiding focus and introspection. On October 19, Apeejay members donned the colour yellow that represented knowledge and learning, encouraging wisdom and intellect.

Green that symbolises prosperity and growth, fostering harmony and balance, was the colour for the next day. The last couple of days of Navratri were dedicated to colour grey that  represented transformation and reflection, encouraging self-analysis, and stunning peacock green that symobilsed beauty and grace, encouraging positive transformations. 

The ‘Festive Colour Celebration’ spread its wings further. Faculty members and staff at Apeejay Stya University, Gurugram also marked the auspicious occasion by dressing up in the above-mentioned festive colours.
