Eco-Friendly Ganesh Visarjan Protects Rivers and Traditions

Ganesh Visarjan is a celebration in which idols are immersed in water.

The article says this tradition can be practiced without harming local ecosystems.

Idols made from natural clay, shadu mati, or red soil are suggested.

Because the earth is not baked, these idols can dissolve more quickly.

Some idols can contain plant seeds, helping nature after immersion.

Paper mache is another possible material.

Natural colors and decorations can make the idols more environmentally friendly.

These changes are presented as a way to respect both cultural traditions and the environment.
