Ganesha Chaturthi is a festival that is widely observed across the country. The Elephant-headed God is traditionally welcomed into households on the first day, followed by Visarjan or immersion of the Ganesha idols on the tenth day.
With each year's Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations come significant environmental risks. Thousands of individuals chose to immerse the idols in already polluted water bodies. People typically overlook the impact of pollution generated by numerous activities undertaken during the festivities when celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi. Almost all Ganesha Idols submerged in water are made of PoP (Plaster of Paris), plastic, and cement. The colours used for decoration contain toxic compounds that contribute to environmental pollution.
The fact that over 200,000 Ganesha idols are immersed in the sea and other bodies of water in Mumbai alone highlights the importance of using eco-friendly Ganesha idols.
Here's How to Celebrate Ganesha Chaturthi and Help the Environment at the Same Time!
