Mysuru MP launches centre for respectful disposal of religious items
Some families have old or damaged religious idols and pictures that they no longer use.
They may not know how to dispose of these items respectfully.
A new programme in Mysuru has created a collection centre for them.
Mysuru MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar launched the programme.
People can bring their unwanted religious articles to the centre.
The organisers say these items should not be thrown away with ordinary rubbish.
They also want to teach people about responsible handling of sacred objects.
The programme may be expanded to other places if people support it.
Mysuru MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar launched the programme on Saturday.
The initiative collects damaged idols and old religious photographs for respectful disposal.
Save Hindu Temple organised the launch at Agrahara Circle.
The programme offers families a practical alternative to discarding sacred articles with regular waste.
The initiative will initially focus on Mysuru and may expand based on public response.
