Navaratri Jewellery 2026 | Handpainted by Khoj.City Artisans

Jewellery for the Nine Nights of Durga

Navaratri is the festival of nine nights celebrating the nine forms of Durga — and traditionally, devotees wear a different colour each day. Our Durga Navaratri collection brings together handpainted necklaces, earrings, and chokers in the vibrant Navaratri palette: from the bold reds of Day 1 (Pratipada, Shailaputri) and the regal blues of Day 4 (Chaturthi, Kushmanda), to the auspicious yellows of Day 5 (Panchami, Skandamata) and the celebratory pinks of the final days.

Every piece is handcrafted by women artisans across India, using traditional Indian art forms — Madhubani folk painting, Warli tribal art, Pattachitra scroll art — applied onto lightweight, eco-friendly materials. The result: jewellery that looks rich and ceremonial, but feels comfortable enough to wear through hours of garba, dandiya, and puja.

What to Wear When

For garba and dandiya nights, our statement necklaces and bold drop earrings pair beautifully with traditional ghagra choli and chaniya choli — the lightweight construction means you can dance freely without heavy jewellery weighing you down. For puja and aarti, more delicate handpainted chokers and subtle earrings complement traditional sarees and salwar kameez. For family gatherings and festive dinners, our mid-range statement pieces add festive richness to kurtas and Indo-Western outfits.

Many of our Navaratri pieces feature traditional Indian motifs — peacocks, lotuses, deity imagery, paisley, and floral patterns — that carry symbolic and spiritual meaning. Browse our handmade necklace sets for coordinated necklace + earring combinations, or pair individual pieces from our necklace collection and earrings collection to create your own nine-day rotation.

The Nine Colours of Navaratri

Traditional Navaratri colour sequences vary slightly by region and year, but the spirit is the same — each day honours a different form of the goddess with a designated colour. Common sequences include: Day 1 Red, Day 2 Royal Blue, Day 3 Yellow, Day 4 Green, Day 5 Grey, Day 6 Orange, Day 7 White, Day 8 Pink, Day 9 Sky Blue. Our collection spans all these palettes so you can build a coordinated nine-day jewellery rotation that matches your outfits and honours the tradition.

Why Handmade Navaratri Jewellery

Handmade jewellery feels different from mass-produced festival jewellery — every piece carries the hand of the artisan who made it, and the imperfect uniqueness of brushwork. For Navaratri specifically, this matters: a festival of devotion deserves jewellery made with intention, not jewellery stamped out by machine. Every order supports a woman artisan and a regional Indian craft tradition.
