For many years we have been immersing the idols in water sources, without paying attention to the harm we were causing to our environment. The immersion in water sources causes harm to marine life because of the plaster of Paris and the toxic, non-biodegradable chemical colors of idols. In a bid to reduce the environmental damage, many devotees have begun installing Ganpati idols that are both innovative and eco-friendly. We need to take care that the glory of the festival stays intact and does not become a hazard to our nature and environment.
