Actors Promote Eco-Friendly Ganesh Idols for Green Ganesh Chaturthi 2026
Ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi 2026, actors Pooja Hegde and Vijay Deverakonda are promoting eco-friendly celebrations in Mumbai and across India by adopting seed-embedded and clay Ganesha idols. These sustainable idols dissolve naturally and contain seeds that grow into plants after immersion, reducing water pollution caused by traditional Plaster of Paris idols. The initiative encourages devotees to combine devotion with environmental responsibility, supporting greener festival practices and raising awareness about the ecological impact of idol immersion.
