No visit to a place of worship is complete without the classic temple offerings, to please and propitiate the gods. It is estimated that around 800 million tonnes of flowers are offered at temples, dargahs, and gurdwaras across the country. As per research by Pradip Kumar Maity for the International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, about eight million tonnes of floral waste is dumped into rivers and other water bodies in India every year, choking and polluting them. But some brands and individuals are stopping temple waste from going to rivers. Instead, they are turning waste into useful resources like dyes and religious offerings.
