It often ends with the Dussehra celebration on the 10th day. Some people celebrate these holy nine days by fasting, some celebrate by dancing, and some celebrate by holding an elaborate feast. On each day of Navratri, a special color is worn that is dedicated to a Goddess.
Goddess Shailaputri is the Goddess of Mountains and stands for warmth and ebullience, Goddess Brahmacharini stands for purity, inner peace and security to a person, Goddess Chandraghanta stands for passion and love, Goddess Kushmanda stands for flamboyance and elegance, Goddess Skandamata stands for optimism and joy, Goddess Katyayani stands for serenity and sense of growth, Goddess Kaalratri stands for balanced emotions, Goddess Mahagauri stands for great wealth, and Goddess Siddhidhatri stands for compassion and solicitude.
In western India, Navratri is celebrated with famous Garba and Dandiya-Raas dances. Both of these dance forms are performed with grace and finesse, during these dances the women and men wear beautiful and bright colored clothes, and dance with full enthusiasm and energy.

In Eastern India, Navratri is celebrated in the form of Durga puja. Devi Durga is shown with various weapons in her hand, riding a lion. The Lion represents dharma, while the weapons represent the focus needed to destroy our ill-mentality and negative thoughts.
In South India, Navratri is celebrated by inviting family and friends over to look at the Kolu, which is essentially an exhibition of various dolls and figurines. At the end, Navratri is all about reconnecting with our divine and powerful Goddess.
