Currently, the biggest trend in Indian festival lifestyle is sustainability . The traditional 10-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival once saw idols made of Plaster of Paris (PoP) dumped into lakes, turning them toxic. Today, lifestyle creators focus on "DIY Clay Ganesha" tutorials and "immersing idols in a bucket at home" solutions.

Lifestyle content that mimics the feel of a WhatsApp forward—bright yellow text, a spiritual background, a "Forwarded many times" badge—is ironically memeable and culturally accurate.
