Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 1st ODI – How to Watch

Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, and Indian viewers could catch it live on Sony Sports Ten 2 or stream it via Sony LIV and FanCode.

Pitch experts noted a balanced surface that offered something for both batters and bowlers. Weather forecasts predicted a dry evening, making it a perfect night for a high‑scoring game.

Lalbaugcha Raja Darshan Goes Hybrid

Ganesh Chaturthi lovers in Mumbai got a fresh take on the Lalbaugcha Raja experience this year. Organisers introduced a hybrid model: traditional queues for those who prefer face‑to‑face worship and a 24‑hour live‑stream for devotees who can’t make it in person. Daily darshan runs from 5 AM to 11 PM until September 7, with three queue categories – General, Charan Sparsha, and Mukh Darshan – each offering a different level of closeness to the idol.

For those willing to pay a premium, a Platinum fast‑track pass guarantees the shortest wait. The theme this year honors Tirupati Balaji, and the temple also rolls out a home‑delivery prasad service, ensuring the blessing reaches your doorstep. Remember, the cutoff dates for queue registration are strict, so plan ahead if you want a spot.

These three stories capture the spirit of September 2025 on India News Country: thrilling sports moments, practical viewing guides, and a blend of tradition with technology for festive celebrations. Keep checking back for more updates, because the news never stops moving.
