Almere Durga Puja

Celebrating festivals differently. Sustainability is our mantra by which we conserve nature.

  • Zero use of plastic
  • Minimal use of electricity
  • Cutleries made out of sugar cane mash
  • Use of oil lamps
  • Venue decorated with e-waste collected from the neighborhoods
  • Recycle all waste

Inspired by the India-led global movement Mission LiFE to take action to protect and preserve the environment.

"Your goal of making the Durga Puja celebrations eco-friendly and sustainable reflects the underlying spirit of Mission LiFE. I congratulate you on this initiative and wish you success in your endeavours." - H.E. Mrs. Reenat Sandhu, Indian Ambassador to the Netherlands
