Nine nights, nine colours and at least one dandiya night where someone loses a stick. These are the things that make garba season easier, prettier or more fun, from oxidised jewellery that survives sweat to golu dolls that survive toddlers.

Ghungroo Garba Jewellery Set
An oxidised necklace-and-earring set with ghungroo drops that actually jingle on the dance floor, the classic finishing touch for a chaniya choli.

Lace Dandiya Two-Pair Pack
Lace-wrapped wooden dandiya in two pairs, cheap enough to hand to a partner at the garba ground and still get change from 150.

Lotus Brass Aarti Thali Set
A glossy brass thali with a lotus-shaped diya built in, sized for a small home mandir where the Durga aarti happens every evening of Navratri.

Marapachi-Style Wooden Golu Pair
A hand-painted wooden bride and groom pair, the traditional first dolls on a Navratri golu step, and a sweet gift for someone setting up their first display.

Palm-Sized Brass Durga
A 4.6-inch solid brass Durga on her lion, detailed enough to be the centrepiece of a home Navratri altar and small enough to gift in a box.
