Eco Friendly Ganesh

Ecoexist brings you Ganesh idols made from natural clay, painted with turmeric, geroo and multani mitti. These can be immersed in a bucket of water in your house and used to water plants. Idols made from plaster of paris and chemical paints contain heavy metals and are harmful to the ecosystem. There are also wide range of accessories made natural materials like shola pith and cloth. These have been made by challenged adults and help them earn an additional income.



Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with great devotion all over India. People bring home murtis (Idols) of Lord Ganesha and celebrate the festival by worshiping the Lord in a special way for a day and a half, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days or 11 days depending on the family tradition and commitment of each individual.



On the last day of worship the idol is taken out in a colourful and musical procession to be immersed traditionally at a beach.

This is one of the most popular festivals in the Country. There are several reasons for this. Ganpati is after all a popular God. His blessings are invoked at most religious ceremonies as He is the one who can remove all obstacles to success. He is the giver of fortune and can help to avoid natural calamities.



Ganpati, the god of wisdom and the benevolent deity of the dynasty of Peshwas who ruled Maharashtra inculcating a special culture in the state. Ganpati is the herald of auspicious beginnings and is the beloved deity of all.

Wish you a Happy and a Blessed Ganesh Chaturthi 2015!
