Eco-Friendly Ganesh Idol Sources & Why They Are Essential

Ganesh Chaturthi, one of the major festivals of the year in India celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesh, is quickly approaching.

As in previous years, hundreds of thousands of people will assemble to immerse Ganpati idols in water bodies, increasing air and water pollution in many regions of our nation.

Since the idols are built of Plaster of Paris, which is naturally non-biodegradable, they clog up water bodies and have a negative impact on the aquatic ecosystem by floating on the water for an extended period of time.

In the past few years, a number of substitutes have been developed, ranging from using natural clay to animal dung to create the base for Ganesh idols.

Cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, and Pune are developing environmentally friendly solutions to combat the pollution these celebrations have left behind.

An organization named eCoexist enterprises from Pune are attempting to create a more sustainable future.

This group strives to create idols out of clay and other organic dyes. Additionally, they have shifted from using synthetic, chemical paints to using natural, organic Holi paints.

Furthermore, they have succeeded in producing red and green colors for their idols using spinach and beetroot.
