In consonance with a call for a ban on single-use plastic, the festival is being celebrated in an eco-friendly manner.
While organisers have built the pandals (marquees) sans plastic materials, revellers are maintaining cleanliness at the community Durga Pujas.
Organisers such as the Hindu Kalyan Samiti in Kohima and the Hindu Seva Samiti in Dimapur have embarked the festival with the message "Say no to plastic, say yes to life".
