Mumbai Recycles Ganesh Idol Clay for Construction & Art

Mumbai Recycles Ganesh Idol Clay for Construction & Art

After the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, people in Mumbai are collecting clay from the immersed idols.

This clay is made from a natural material called shaadu maati.

Instead of letting the clay pollute water, it's being gathered and given to artists and builders.

They're experimenting with using the clay to make things like construction blocks and wall decorations.

This helps to protect the environment and reuse materials.
