Day 5 of navratri :
It is specifically dedicated to the goddess Skandmata . She is the fifth avatar of mata devi . the name refers to the fact that she is the mother of skanda . Skandmata's idol will be like Skanda sitting in the lap of his mother in her vehicle, Lion . Skandamata represents the affection and love of mothers . It is said that wearing white on this day is auspicious and it refers to serenity , purity and peace .
Day 6 of navratri :
Sixth day is celebrated to worship devi katyayani . history says that , devi katayayani turns into this avatar to kill the evil forces in the universe . In this form only she kills the enemy mahishasura . She depicts boldness and courage as the warrior goddess . The name of this form “ katyayani “ has its roots from the ashram , where the goddess stayed to do penance . literature and history says that she is one of the violent avatars of devi . The color associated with this day is “ red “ . which symbolizes fearlessness and courage and strength .
Day 7 of navratri :
This day of navratri is allotted to worship the fiercer avatar of devi , namely “kalaratri “ which means the dark night . She has a fearless gesture and a dark complexion . People believed that kalaratri gives the power to face the fear of darkness . This avatar has the vehicle as a donkey and has weapons in her hands . Devi had turned kalaratri into blue to destroy demons . so , the great color to use on this day is “ blue” that depicts kala ratri and immense power .
Day 8 of navratri :
Devi “mahagauri” is celebrated on the 8th day of navratri . She represents happiness and peace , giving the energy for people to liberate . Unlike other avatars of devi , mahagauri has a bull as her vehicle . the pink color is associated for this day symbolising harmony , charm and kindness.
