The Hindu festival is dedicated to the Lord of new beginnings, Ganesha . The celebration is marked with the installation of the deity’s idol at home and at elaborate pandals . The 10-day festival ends with the final immersion – also called the Visarjan – of an idol of Lord Ganesha .
Celebrated with great fame in India, especially in Maharashtra, a unique effort has been made in Aurangabad city, where the Swami Ganesh Pratishthan Mandal installed an eco-friendly Ganesh idol in Kharadi village of Aurangabad .
Devotees in Bengaluru also added a touch of eco-friendliness in their celebrations as they made an idol using sugarcane, shunning Plaster of Paris (PoP) .
