“Although last year a court order did ask idol makers and artisans to turn green and do away with the plaster of paris and bright chemical- painted idols, PoP idols which are known to cause environmental hazards are not yet fully done away with. Instead of preaching to our elders it is wise to teach our next generation to celebrate and pray with eco- friendly idols.”
Special workshops are now conducted in schools to teach how to make eco-friendly Ganpati idols in order to drive the importance of protecting one’s environment.

Clay Workshops for Children

Kids can now attend “play with clay” workshops, where they can learn to mould clay to make their own little Ganesha.
