  • Drik Panchang’s day‑wise colours for 2025—white, red, royal blue, yellow, green, grey, orange, peacock green and pink—have been published for devotees to follow.
  • New ritual guides detail offerings such as ghee for Shailputri, sugar for Brahmacharini, kheer for Chandraghanta, malpua for Kushmanda and bananas for Skandamata, and encourage chanting the 108 names of Durga during the nine nights.
  • The Hindu outlines golu display essentials including a minimum five‑step setup with prescribed ordering, alongside reminders for kalasam installation and Kanya/Suvasini puja, while lifestyle features offer outfit ideas matched to each day’s colour.
