This Ganesh Chaturthi, Go Small

Ganesh Chaturthi is approaching but the pandemic continues and it's still not safe to venture outside in large numbers as traditionally expected during this auspicious time.  This means that many of us will not be able to or prefer not to step out of the confines of our houses for ganpati visarjan. In such a scenario, it becomes clear that the time has come for smaller idols of Ganesha that can be dipped in a bucket of water at our homes itself. We have curated a list of tiny Ganpatis you can buy this Ganesh Chaturthi. Read on for the eco-friendly curation:

10” Lalbaugcha Raja Eco-Friendly Ganpati | Buy Now
This Ganesha idol offered by My Pooja Box not only commemorates the birthday of Lord Ganesha but also surrounds us with positivity. It’s handcrafted by skilled Indian artisans and is 100% biodegradable. It’s made of clay, which dissolves easily in water. It comes with a small kit of plant seeds. Just place the Ganesha in a flower pot, pour water over it until it dissolves and add the plant seeds received along with the Ganesha.
Price- Rs. 1,899

8” Eco-Friendly Ganesha Murti | Buy Now
​This Ganpati idol is made of red soil, organic fertilizers, natural colours and seeds that will transform the Ganesha murti into a tree, once after the visarjan (immersion). The 8” idol weighs about two kilos and a single person alone can handle it easily. This can be immersed in your backyard instead of a waterbody. 
Price- Rs. 1,800
