September 2025 Archive: Navratri Day 2 Worship, 90s AI Portraits, Mahindra SUV Discounts

If you landed here looking for what happened on our site in September 2025, you’ve come to the right spot. We rolled out three very different pieces that month – a detailed Navratri ritual, a tech‑driven nostalgia wave, and a major price shift for Mahindra’s SUVs. Below you’ll find quick takeaways and why each story mattered.

How to worship Maa Brahmacharini on Navratri Day 2

Navratri fans know Day 2 honors Maa Brahmacharini, the goddess of wisdom and inner strength. Our guide walks you through every step: setting up the Kalash, choosing the sacred green décor, lighting the lamp, and chanting the key mantras. We even list the exact offerings – yellow rice, sandalwood paste, and green flowers – so you can follow along without guessing. The article also explains the mythic background, linking Brahmacharini’s ascetic quest to the green color theme, which symbolizes growth and calm. Readers told us the checklist helped them finish the puja on time, even with a hectic work schedule.

Why 90s retro AI portraits are blowing up

After the Nano Banana hype, a fresh trend hit social feeds: turning selfies into 90s‑style portraits using Google’s Gemini AI. The piece breaks down the three most popular prompts – Bollywood glam, anime throwback, and studio‑vintage – and shows how a few tweaks keep the final image recognizable. We also shared a step‑by‑step demo in the Gemini app, so anyone can try it without a graphics background. The biggest surprise? Users reported higher engagement on posts when the AI added grain and colour‑pop that mimics old film stock, proving nostalgia still sells.

Beyond the fun factor, the article warns about over‑editing. Keep the facial features clear, avoid too‑heavy filters, and test a few variations before posting. That way you get a retro look that feels authentic rather than a gimmicky mash‑up.

Mahindra slashes SUV prices after GST 2.0 reset

India’s GST Council introduced a new GST 2.0 structure in early September, moving smaller ICE vehicles to an 18% rate and keeping larger ones at a flat 40%. Mahindra acted fast, cutting ex‑showroom prices by up to ₹1.56 lakh across its SUV lineup. The XUV700, Scorpio N, and the diesel‑powered XUV3XO were the biggest beneficiaries, with price drops ranging from ₹1.43 lakh to ₹1.56 lakh.

We highlighted how the timing lines up with the festive buying season, giving shoppers a rare chance to snag a premium SUV at a significantly lower cost. The article also compared the new Mahindra offers with rival brands, showing that the price gap widened just before the holiday rush. If you’re in the market for an SUV, the post suggests visiting a local dealer before the end of the month to lock in the discount.

All three September posts received strong reader interaction – the Navratri guide helped many complete their rituals at home, the AI portrait story sparked a wave of user‑generated content, and the Mahindra price‑cut analysis guided several buying decisions. Together they illustrate how our site blends cultural tradition, emerging tech, and practical consumer advice.
