Ahead of the much-anticipated Ganesh Chaturthi festival, Bengaluru is embracing a sustainable approach by organizing workshops that encourage the creation of eco-friendly Ganeshas. These workshops aim to promote the use of biodegradable materials and foster environmental consciousness during the festive season.
The workshops, conducted across various neighborhoods in Bengaluru, provide a platform for artisans and enthusiasts to come together and learn how to craft Ganesh idols using environmentally friendly materials such as clay and natural colors. Participants are guided through the process, learning the art of making eco-conscious Ganeshas.
The initiative aligns with the city’s commitment to reducing environmental impact and addressing the challenges posed by non-biodegradable waste generated during festivals. By opting for green Ganeshas, individuals can contribute to minimizing pollution and protecting the environment.
Notably, the traditional practice of creating Ganesh idols using plaster of Paris and chemical-based paints has been a cause for concern due to its harmful impact on water bodies and the ecosystem. Eco-friendly idols, on the other hand, dissolve easily in water, causing no harm to aquatic life.
Organizations and environmentalists have welcomed these workshops, emphasizing the importance of spreading awareness about eco-friendly celebrations. Such efforts empower individuals to make conscious choices that prioritize sustainability while preserving age-old traditions.
The eco-conscious movement is gaining momentum, with an increasing number of people opting for green alternatives during festive occasions. It reflects a growing realization of the need to harmonize cultural practices with environmental preservation.
As Bengaluru gears up for Ganesh Chaturthi, these workshops not only nurture creativity but also instill a sense of responsibility towards nature. The amalgamation of tradition with sustainability sets a positive precedent for future festivities, promoting a cleaner and greener environment for all.
