How distinctive can a Christmas tree be? It may be made up of picket triangles or it may be a digital tree. Churches and malls in Bengaluru are ushering in the Christmas spirit with progressive concepts for the standard Christmas tree.
The Mar Thoma Syrian Church, in Ashok Nagar, has redefined the standard Christmas tree with a sustainable twist. The church opted for a hand-crafted picket construction, consisting of two triangles, one larger than the opposite. This eco-conscious selection displays a dedication to accountable celebrations, aligning with the church’s previous endeavors in sustainability, the organisers stated.

Modern twist
“The design of the tree was chosen by the younger generation within the community, adding a touch of modernity to the festive tradition. However, the innovation doesn’t stop with the tree’s design. The hollow centre of this wooden masterpiece is stringed full of notes adorned with messages and paper decorations. Congregants and visitors alike are encouraged to contribute messages of love, hope, and goodwill, transforming the tree into a symbol of unity and shared joy,” stated Jason Andrews, a member of the Church.
He added that post-Christmas, the picket triangles will likely be repurposed to create bookshelves for kids in underprivileged colleges. “Furthermore, the paper notes, instead of ending up in the waste stream, will be recycled into notebooks, promoting a circular and environmentally friendly approach to holiday festivities,” Mr Andrews stated.
Elsewhere, in a celebration of cutting-edge know-how, Orion Mall at Brigade Gateway in Rajaji Nagar has launched reportedly India’s first and largest digital Christmas tree. “Standing tall at a height of 85 feet, this tree is illuminated by energy-efficient LEDs, and it also displays captivating animations that include snowflakes, Santa Claus, Season’s greetings, and more,” stated Rahul Malhotra, Spokesperson, Orion Mall.
Miniature variations of the tree that are 30 ft tall have additionally been erected at Orion Uptown Mall at Whitefield – Hoskote Junction and Orion Avenue Mall at Cooke Town, he stated.
