GANESHA
It is that time of the year that heralds the beginning of festivities and first in the list is the celebration dedicated to Lord Ganesh. Children enjoy the gaiety and interesting traditions that are a part of the festival and look forward to the delicious sweets and savouries that are made during Ganesh pooja at home.
One of the main traditions followed in many Indian households is to bring a beautiful Ganesha idol home during this festival. It has become a norm to buy shiny and colourful Ganesh idols from the market, which use Plaster of Paris (PoP) and are painted with bright chemical and synthetic dyes.
This is a small Ganesha idol that even children can make easily and can be also mounted on the wall like a wall hanging. It uses only clay and can be fashioned into a Ganesha idol or just a Ganesha head on the leaf.
Paper Mache Ganesh
Paper mache is an eco-friendly alternative to harmful PoP idols and is available to order online or in art supply stores.
Who doesn’t love play dough? It is a colourful and pliable material, and will make a bright and happy Ganesh. Children will especially love making this one.
Peepal leaf Ganesh
Peepal tree is considered sacred among the Hindus and the leaf of the Peepal also has medicinal properties. Peepal leaf Ganesh is quite popular in paintings but here you get to make it with real leaves.
Eco-friendly Ganesha idols can be a family-bonding exercise:
The best part about owning an eco-friendly Ganesha idol is the fact that you can make them yourself. You might need some guidance initially, but later it can be a lot of fun to create your own idol.
Use Eco Friendly Ganesh idol: As going green is the new mantra, say no to idols made of chemical, Plaster of paris, clay, plastic, thermocol (polystyrene). Opt for natural, biodegradable material so that after immersions (visarjan) it does not pollute water and surroundings.
