This year, CR Park's Durga Puja committees are aiming for a more eco-friendly celebration.
"Our idols are made from eco-friendly clay and paints that are bio-degradable," said the B Block committee's general secretary Tamal Rakshit. "We also practice environment friendly immersions."
The committee is making the immersion eco-friendly by digging a pond in the park and immersing the idols there. This would later be used as a compost site. The frame of the idols and the stage will be returned to the artists to be reused.

This year, Delhi is seeing more than 400 Durga Puja celebrations.
"We are promoting a tribal form of art that exists in Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Odisha through our Durga Puja celebrations," said Utpal Dey, the president of Cooperative Ground.
The confluence of cultures can be witnessed at the mela ground too. Though the pandal is inspired by a traditional Bengali theme, the idols are draped in the attire of the North East.
