Celebrating Responsibly in 2025
As our celebrations get grander, our responsibility towards Mother Earth also grows. When you share your wishes, you can also gently encourage eco-friendly practices:
- Opt for a clay idol (shadu murti) that dissolves in water without harming the environment.
- Use natural colors for decorations and avoid plastic.
- Immerse your idol in a designated artificial tank instead of natural water bodies.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has often emphasized the importance of eco-friendly festivals. Let’s celebrate without leaving a negative footprint.
