There cannot be any doubt that Dandiya and Garba nights take away much of this beauty of the nine nights fair. Cotton or khadi outfit should be preferred instead of synthetic ones. Conservation of energy by using LED lights and using solar-powered setups makes celebratory parties eco-friendly.
These community dinners and prasad allocations constitute the bulk of waste. Leaf-based biodegradable plates or reusable steel ones seem quite easy yet effective. The rest can be composted or donated to reduce wastage.
Instead of polluting rivers or lakes, more environmentally conscious communities could set up artificial ponds for idol immersion. This not only prevents water pollution, but also gives sanctity to the rituals observed. Public clean-up and recycling campaigns after the festivities will serve in heightening awareness on the environmental responsibility.
