    This seems like a fun way to celebrate the festival with one color dress for each day of celebration :) Looks like each color has a spiritual significance too.

    Here also ladies have started wearing thse colours and this year I have also started wearing when I go for haldi kumkum. This year I have shifted to my daughter's house as our own house is under reconstruction. Here house is well furnished and there are many wall units. So I have arranged the sarees according to the colours each day to wear. I would have been very happy if I was working
