The magic of Indian festivals lies in vibrant rituals, delicious feasts, and heartwarming togetherness. Yet, these celebrations can leave a heavy footprint on the environment. This festive season, why not adopt simple, mindful swaps to create a truly green puja 2025, one that honors tradition while protecting the planet?
Here are ten easy eco-friendly changes you can make to keep your celebrations joyful and sustainable.

Dispose of waste responsibly, segregate recyclables, and leave your festive spaces cleaner than you found them.
