Dussehra, the festival that symbolises the triumph of good over evil, is celebrated with grandeur and devotion. Traditionally marked by elaborate decorations, vibrant rituals, and festive gatherings, this occasion also provides an opportunity to reflect on our environmental impact. 

As sustainability awareness grows, more people are seeking ways to celebrate eco-friendly Dussehra. Embracing eco-friendly puja essentials is a meaningful step toward a greener celebration, allowing us to honour our traditions while protecting our planet.

Eco-Friendly Puja Decorations

Decorations play a crucial role in setting the festive mood for Dussehra. However, many conventional decorations are made from non-biodegradable materials that contribute to environmental harm. By choosing eco-friendly Dussehra décor, you can create a beautiful and festive atmosphere while being kind to the planet.

• Rangoli T-light Décor

An option for green Dussehra decorations is the Rangoli T-light Décor from Suspire. This handcrafted piece, designed by BambaiSe, is inspired by the traditional art of Mandala and comes in vibrant colours like Rani Pink, purple, and royal green. Each Rangoli is designed with slots for T-lights and a central space for flower petals, combining both visual appeal and practicality.

The Rangoli T-light Décor allows you to use candles instead of electric lights, reducing energy consumption and minimizing the carbon footprint of your celebrations. Packaged in a fancy box, this Rangoli set also makes an excellent gift for the festive season.

Eco-Friendly Puja Offerings

Puja offerings are an integral part of the ritual, but many conventional offerings come in plastic or non-biodegradable packaging. Opting for eco-friendly offerings can make a significant difference in reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

• Vanchai Earthen Diya Set

A perfect example of an eco-friendly puja essential is the Vanchai Earthen Diya Set from Suspire.
