Durga puja pandals with a touch of green

Durga Puja organisers in Chennai are getting the celebrations togged in “green” by insisting that participants follow a slew of sustainability practices.

Dakshin Chennai Prabashi Cultural Association has decided upon reducing the convoy of vehicles accompanying the deity on the day of immersion.

Usually, around 20 cars hit the road on procession day, and this number will be whittled down, probably to a single digit.
