Growing Interest in Eco-Friendly Ganesh Idols and Sustainable Decor for Ganesh Chaturthi
As Ganesh Chaturthi approaches, there is growing interest in eco-friendly celebrations, highlighted by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis's participation in a natural clay idol workshop that set a Guinness World Record. Seed Ganesha idols, made from biodegradable materials embedded with tree seeds, offer an alternative to traditional Plaster of Paris idols, which harm aquatic environments. Additionally, simple, sustainable DIY decor ideas using natural materials like terracotta, banana leaves, and flower petals are gaining popularity for festive styling at home.
