Navratri Day 1: Worshipping Maa Shailputri – The Strength of the Mountains in Glorious Orange
As the vibrant festival of Navratri kicks off on September 23, 2025, devotees across India get ready to embrace the nine-day journey of divine feminine power. The first day is dedicated to Maa Shailputri, the mountain-born goddess who symbolizes unshakable strength, purity, and new beginnings. To celebrate her auspicious arrival, the sacred colour orange shines as the beacon of energy and optimism on this special day.
In this blog, we dive deep into the story behind Maa Shailputri, the spiritual significance of Navratri’s Day 1 colour, and how you can honor this goddess in style with WeaveHand’s handpicked selection of orange sarees guaranteed to brighten your festive look.
Who is Maa Shailputri? The Daughter of the Himalayas and The Essence of Strength
Maa Shailputri literally means “Daughter of the Mountain” (Shail = mountain, Putri = daughter). Born as the daughter of King Himalaya, she is considered the first form of the Goddess Durga and represents Parvati in her purest elemental form. According to sacred texts, Maa Shailputri is the combined power of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu, symbolizing strength, stability, and the primal force of nature.
Visualized riding a majestic bull (Nandi), she holds a trident in one hand and a lotus flower in the other—a perfect balance of power and purity. Worshipping Maa Shailputri on the first day sets a strong foundation for the spiritual energy required to journey through the nine days of Navratri with focus and grace.
Her story encourages devotees to embrace discipline, devotion, and to root themselves firmly in positivity, much like a mountain standing tall amid change. Meditating on her energy is believed to awaken self-confidence and courage to challenge all obstacles in life.
The Spiritual Significance of Orange on Navratri Day 1
Each day of Navratri carries its own colour that resonates with the divine goddess worshipped and the mood of the day. For Day 1, the colour orange is sacred and carries deep symbolism. Orange (known as ‘Narangi’ in Hindi) is the colour of fire, the sun, and energy.
This radiating hue is known to awaken enthusiasm, joy, and warmth in both the surroundings and the spirit. Wearing orange as you pray to Maa Shailputri aligns your aura with vitality, creativity, and optimism for the journey ahead.
Orange is also linked to spirituality and awakening in Indian culture. It is the colour of the saffron robes worn by sages and saints, symbolizing detachment and purity of mind while embracing the power of transformation—just like Navratri’s cleansing purpose.
