Today, October 3, is the first day of Shardiya Navratri, which is dedicated to worshipping Goddess Shailputri, the first form of Maa Durga, with immense devotion. Because of this, the first day of Navratri is associated with yellow, so people in offices and working places celebrate it by wearing yellow.

This is not the first time the local trains have been an attraction for social media during the Navratri festival or Durga Puja. Last year, videos of a group of women performing the Garba dance aboard a Mumbai local train also went viral on social media.

This year, the Navratri festival began on October 3, and Dussehra will be celebrated on October 12 (Wednesday), which marks the conclusion of a 9-day festival in India, also known as Vijayadashami.
