2nd Day of #Navratri: Colour - #Green
Symbolism: Green represents growth, renewal, nature, and energy. It is associated with peace and harmony, making it a color that encourages a sense of inner calm and focus among devotees.
Spiritual Connection: Wearing green is believed to attract positive energy and inspire spiritual growth. Devotees don this color to align themselves with the qualities of #MaaBrahmacharini, who embodies #devotion and #perseverance.
#Maa #Brahmacharini
#Maa-Brahmacharini is revered for her dedication and commitment to spiritual practices. Her name combines "Brahma," meaning supreme consciousness or knowledge, and "Charini," meaning one who practices or pursues. This form of the goddess symbolizes devotion, peace, and self-discipline

Green (Day 2): Green is that colour reserved for the festival's second day, remembering #Goddess Brahmacharini. The symbol includes new beginnings and growth, relating to fertility, as people believe it may bring prosperity into their lives.

Raag #Yaman
Raag Yaman is one of the foundational and most revered ragas in Indian classical music. It belongs to the Kalyan thaat and is characterized by its serene and devotional mood, often evoking a sense of tranquility and introspection. The raga is performed during the evening hours and employs all seven notes (swaras) with the teevra (sharp) madhyam (Ma) being a distinctive feature. The aaroh (ascending scale) and avaroh (descending scale) follow a symmetrical pattern, typically rendered as:

Aaroh: N R G M D N S'
Avaroh: S' N D P M G R S

The movement of notes in Yaman is fluid and graceful, with an emphasis on the gandhar (Ga) and nishad (Ni), which imbues the raga with its characteristic sweet and soothing quality. Dhrupad compositions in Raag Yaman emphasize slow, meditative alap sections, exploring the depth of each note, followed by structured bandishes (compositions) that maintain the raga's spiritual essence.

#Raag #Durga
Raag Durga, another prominent raga in the indian classical music repertoire, is known for its simplicity and purity. It belongs to the Bilawal thaat and is an audav-audav raga, meaning it uses five notes in both the ascending and descending scales. The notes used are shuddha (natural) and the raga does not employ the Gandhar (Pa) or the Nishad (Ni). Its scale is:

Aaroh: S R M P D S'
Avaroh: S' D P M R S

Raag Durga is performed during the second prahar of the night (9 PM to midnight) and #evokes a mood of #devotion and #joy. The raga’s straightforward structure and pentatonic nature lend it a clear, open sound that is both uplifting and calming. In Dhrupad, Raag Durga is explored through intricate alaps, where the purity of each note is meticulously highlighted. The compositions often embody a sense of devotion, with rhythmic and lyrical content that celebrates divine or heroic themes.
