Mumbai Distributes Clay for Eco-Friendly Ganesh Chaturthi

Mumbai's city government is giving away a lot of free clay to artists who make statues for the big Ganesh Chaturthi festival.

They want the artists to use this clay (called shadu clay) instead of a type of statue material that can harm the environment.

The government is also working with the courts on some rules about where these statues can be put in the water.

Even though the court originally said no to a type of statue material, they changed their mind later.

The government is trying to help artists use environmentally safe materials, but they are running into a few delays.
