Let's not pollute but resolute! Celebrate Green Ganesh Chaturthi

'Bappa' is here to bless us all with the wholesome offering of peace and prosperity, so let us greet our friend Ganesha with the most warm welcome ever while adopting environment-friendly approach for celebrating the annual festival of the year.

Don't degrade

A devotee shops for the most beautiful and sparkle-for-the-eye idol for the festival and maybe the most expensive one, still forgetting that he is bargaining heavily upon his own life. As he is going to smother his own lifeline i.e. environment after paying huge bucks on the Ganpati idols made up of Plaster of Paris(PoP), that takes several days and even years to dissolve in water.

Thus, let us not pollute but resolute in our endeavour to celebrate a green festive season.

Five Tips for idol-green decoration for an easy elegant decor at home:

1. Go for clay idols:

Celebrate the spirit of Ganesha with His idols ideally made up of clay, often painted with lead and mercury free colours. You can also go for ultimate mould of cow dung- a sure choice to go-buy.


2. Indian tradition of Rangoli:

India is well-known for its multi-coloured culture that goes into the making of festive-art Rangoli. But mind you, go for organic colours that may also be used on Diwali.


3. Do shop for attractive mats and carpets:

Let your eyes roll over the spread of decorative mats in all designs and textures lending a traditional lift-of-beauty to your home.


4. Flowery blossom for the day:

You can essentially lend an air of devotion to your surroundings by decoration with either fresh or artificial flowers of your choice of any colour.


5. Light-up your spirits:

Enlighten the high-spirits of this festival with fairy lights illumating your innovation to the core.
