• Clay Idols: You can find beautiful clay idols in different sizes and make them the centrepiece of your Durga Puja home decoration. To add a more earth-friendly touch, go for idols that are coloured with non-toxic dyes that won't pollute the water bodies during visarjan.
• Brass Idols: Brass idols and figurines make your interiors look sophisticated and add a touch of elegance to the space.

Candles and diyas are the most versatile and effective decoration items. These sparkling elements can light up every corner of your home and beautify it.

• Clay/mitti diyas: If you want a more classic and traditional decoration for durga puja at home, go for mitti diyas that are sustainable as well as gorgeous.
• Soy wax candles: You can opt for soy wax candles which not only look aesthetically pleasing but are also more environmentally friendly.
• Brass diyas: You can find brass diyas made with recycled materials on Amala Earth and add a timeless appeal to your interiors.

• Metal torans: These torans can be used for a long time and are stunning to look at with beautiful motifs and designs.

• Fabric torans: Looking for an innovative and earth-friendly way to decorate your walls and entrances? Choose colourful fabric torans with vibrant colours, intricate embroideries and mirror work to adorn the walls.

4. Go with Organic Rangoli

Crafting rangolis on the doorstep is an ancient tradition followed in many different cultures across India. Some easy and biodegradable elements you can incorporate into your gorgeous rangoli include flower petals, coloured rice and pulses and non-toxic rangoli colours made from natural ingredients like turmeric and beetroot.

5. Try Flower Decorations

Flower decoration is another classic way to adorn your home in a myriad of shades. You can use seasonal flowers for Durga Puja flower decoration and ensure that your home and pooja room look and smell heavenly.

• Flower garlands: Crafting lovely upcycled flower garlands is a simple way to add colour and joy to your home during Durga puja celebrations without harming the environment.
• Floral torans: You can find torans made out of seasonal flowers like marigold to adorn your doors and create a more inviting vibe for the Durga puja celebration.

6. Add Potted Plants in your Decor

Another eco-conscious choice for Durga Puja decoration is potted plants because adding greenery is the easiest way to spruce up your interiors. Consider opting for ceramic pots and planters that add more flair to your home decor and festivities.

7. Up your Aesthetic Game with Fabric Decoration

Fabric decoration is another innovative element for Durga Puja home decoration which is extremely sustainable and earth-friendly. You can revamp your home with colourful dupattas sewn together for wall decorations and even use them to decorate your centre tables.

Choose a colour palette that suits the aesthetics of your abode and use it to brighten up your entrances and windows too.
