COVER STORY
That said when people use
plaster of Paris to make
Ganesha Idols it ends up
polluting water bodies during
Ganesha immersion and the
reason is plaster of Paris is not
degradable. It stays clogged and
harms the water animals as well
as makes it unhygienic for us as
mosquitoes enjoy breeding on
contaminated water.
No 2 - Saves Us From Eating
Contaminated Food
When the natural ecosystem is
affected its repercussion is seen
on our food as well through sea
animals that live in water.

For instance, if you are a non-
vegetarian and you eat fish that
has taken in harmful metals
that indirectly goes into your
stomach through the fish. When
there aren’t any chemicals
in water bodies your food is
contamination-free as well.

New Skill
When you make a Ganesha Idol
all by yourself it would give you
immense happiness because
you would have tried a new skill
of carving Ganesha with your
own capability. It is one kind of
achievement of creating an idol
all by yourself.
