Navratri ke 9 din 9 different colours pehenne ki tradition kitni purani hai? 100 saal? 500 saal? Hazaaron saal? Surprisingly, the modern day-wise Navratri colour trend followed especially in Maharashtra is widely credited to a Maharashtra Times campaign started in 2003. 😳 And that’s not the only Indian tradition whose origin may be very different from what we assume today. In this video we explore menstruation traditions, masoor dal, Chambal river, black cats, Thursday hair washing, sweeping at night, nimbu-mirchi and Navratri colours. 🩸 MENSTRUATION & “IMPURITY” Menstruation is a normal biological process. Across Indian history and communities, menstruation has been surrounded by many different beliefs — including rest, separation, ritual restrictions and ideas of purity/impurity. Some historical writing has suggested that fear of blood attracting predators may have contributed to seclusion practices in certain communities. But there is no single proven historical explanation for all menstrual restrictions across India. Modern medicine does not consider menstruating women “impure”. Women may experience fatigue, cramps or discomfort and should rest if they personally need it — but menstruation itself does not make someone unclean. 🍲 MASOOR DAL & SATVIK FOOD Some Hindu and Ayurvedic food traditions classify certain foods as sattvic, rajasic or tamasic. In some religious communities, red lentils / masoor dal are avoided during specific rituals or temple offerings. Traditional stories also exist connecting masoor dal with mythological events. These are religious and cultural beliefs — not nutritional evidence that masoor dal is “non-vegetarian”. Masoor dal is botanically a lentil and is a vegetarian source of protein, fibre and micronutrients. 🌊 WHY IS THE CHAMBAL SO DIFFERENT? The Chambal has long carried a reputation in folklore as a cursed river. Mahabharata-linked folklore associates the ancient Charmanyavati river with blood from animal sacrifice, while another tradition says Draupadi cursed those who drank its water. Interestingly, this negative reputation may historically have helped reduce settlement and industrial development along parts of the river. Environmental reporting has suggested that this relative isolation contributed to the Chambal remaining far less polluted than many other large North Indian rivers. But mythology is only one factor — geography, ravines, lower industrialisation and conservation efforts also matter. 🐈‍⬛ BLACK CAT CROSSING YOUR PATH A black cat crossing the road is widely treated as bad luck in Indian superstition. Many modern explanations connect the belief to older travel conditions, darkness and frightened animals. However, there is no strong historical evidence establishing one single “bullock cart + glowing cat eyes” origin story. A cat crossing your path does not scientifically predict good or bad luck. 🎨 NAVRATRI’S 9 COLOURS — THE BIG SURPRISE This is the most interesting one. The practice of wearing a particular colour on each day of Navratri became especially popular in Maharashtra after Maharashtra Times introduced its “Navrang” campaign around 2003. The newspaper published a colour for each Navratri day, encouraged women to dress accordingly and invited them to send photographs for publication. The campaign became extremely popular. Over time, what started as a modern media trend became a cultural tradition followed by offices, families and communities across Maharashtra and beyond. This does NOT mean Navratri itself or the worship of the nine forms of Durga is modern. Navratri is an ancient religious festival. The surprising part is specifically the modern day-wise colour-code phenomenon many people now assume is ancient scripture. BOTTOM LINE Tradition and science don’t have to fight each other. Some practices are religious. Some are cultural. Some may have had practical reasons. And some traditions can even be surprisingly modern. The important thing is to know the difference between: SCRIPTURE FOLKLORE HISTORY SCIENCE & MODERN TRADITION.
