Ashtami, or the eighth day of Navratri is one of the most significant days of Durga Puja. The Goddess is worshipped in the form of a young unmarried virgin girl, adorned as Goddess Durga, in a ritual called Kumari Puja. In the evening the important Sandhi Puja is performed to worship Goddess Durga in her chauda form, which slayed the two accomplices of buffalo demon Mahishasura – Chanda and Munda – during her battle to kill the demon. The puja is carried out at the time the slaying took place.
On the eighth day, people worship Goddess Mahagauri. Worshipping this avatar of Goddess Durga is said to mitigate all the sins of one’s life. Sky blue is associated with the eighth day of Navratri and bhog made of coconut is offered to the Goddess. One can also make coconut burfi as Prasad.
Blue represents both the sky and the sea, and is associated with open spaces, freedom, intuition, imagination, expansiveness, inspiration and sensitivity. Blue also represents meanings of depth, trust, loyalty, wisdom, faith and intelligence. Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. Since blue has such a calming effect, it is advisable to wear them on days other than just puja purposes.
