7 things we can do to make this an Eco-friendly Ganpati - Ganesh Utsav:

1.    Buy eco-friendly Clay Ganesh Idols and not plaster of paris idols. Plaster of Paris is harmful to the water and land and takes a long time to dissolve and causes long term damage.

2.    Insist on Ganesh Idols painted with Natural Colors. Artificial colors and paints used to paint the idols contain dangerous chemicals that pollute the water.

3.    This year reduce the size of the Ganesh idol in your home or community by half.

4.    Lets also try and reduce the number of public pandals or community Ganesh Utsavs and jointly celebrate the festival thereby reducing the number of Idols to be finally immersed.

5.    Remove the garlands and flowers and put them in paperbags and not plastic bags.

6.    Discourage the use of loud speakers during Aarti or during the procession to immerse the Ganesh Idol. We can all do we lesser noise in Mumbai and enjoy the Aarti without the speakers.

7.    Work in your local area and create an artificial well where the murtis/idols can be immersed. For your personal home Idols it might be suggested to use a big tub to immerse the Ganesh Idol.

Lets all do our small bit in our local areas to ensure a more eco-friendly Ganesh Utsav for all.

Ganesh Utsav - The biggest festival of Maharashtra

Ganesha - is India’s cutest and most popular god. He has the head of an elephant, four  hands joined to a sizeable belly with each hand holding its own symbolic object.

One has a trishul, or a trident, the second, an ankush, or goad made from his very own broken tooth, the third hand elegantly holds a lotus

And the fourth modaks – his favourite sweet.

Ganesha - the god of Wisdom and Prosperity is also famous for being a trickster and for his sense of humour.  He is the son of Parvati and Shiva (Destroyer in the Hindu Holy Trinity of Creator-Preserver-Destroyer). Ganesha is the foremost god of the Hindu pantheon.

He is considered the most auspicious God of new beginnings.

He is worshipped during every festival and before people undertake a journey or start a new venture. You will also see him carefully guarding entrances to temples and homes, peeping out of calendars and happily gracing marriages and other such occasions.

There is hardly a week left for Ganesh Chaturthi that falls on September 3. So the workers all over are working over-time to complete orders for ganapati idols, size ranging from 2 feet to 15 feet.
