Arrange Eco friendly Ganpati workshop for scouts and guides on 7th september and exibition on 8th september.. Ganesh Chaturthi is the Hindu festival celebrated in honour of the elephant headed god, Ganesha. The festival generally lasts 11 days. People installing Ganesha idols and worshiped. The festival is celebrated publicly and at home. At the end of the festival,the idols are immersed in a body of water such as a lake, pond or river. Lord Ganesh idols are often made from various materials ranging from clay, wood and or plaster of paris. Very often plaster of paris idols are painted with chemicals and synthetic paints. When lord Ganesha idols made up of clay are immersed in water at the end of the festival. They do not cause any harm to the quality of water and the surrounding environment. However, it has been noticed that when Ganesh idols made of plaster of paris are immersed in water, the plaster of paris and the toxic nature of colours used to paint the idols cause great harm to the quality of water and the ecosystem. The toxic substances increase the acidity of the water and also leaves behind traces of heavy metals that result in destruction of aquatic life. So every year before Ganesh festival i undertake the project of making Ganesh idols from a bio degradable material.[e.g clay] We arranged workshop of making Ganesh idols from clay or mud.After painting we arrange exibition and encourage others to installed eco friendly Ganesh idols at home. The paint applied to them is purely natural and it dissolves in water within a few hours after the idols are immersed. These idols get completely dissolved in water without causing any harm to the water quality there by causing no hazardous effects to the environment. Thus these idols termed ECO-FRIENDLY idols.
