JUST GUPSHUP: August 2016

Every year Ganesh Utsav brings Happiness and feel like joy and Pleasure every where... This joy supress when we see ,feel and suffer different kind of pollution PROBLEM during and because of Ganesh utsav.All the joy turns in to sorrow....

TO AVOID THIS WHAT BEST WE CAN DO IS TO CHANGE THE WAY WE CELEBRATE GANESH UTSAV....
AND THE BEST WAY TO DO IT IS CHANGE FROM YOURSELF... AND THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING SINCE FIVE YEARS...

What we can do is at least change the way we celebrate This Festival at own level and this is what we done ...celebrating 100 % eco friendly Ganesh Utsav since Five Years.

GANESH IDOL: GANESH IDOL MADE OF CLAY ,PLASTER OF PARIS OR PAPER MACHE POLLUTE WATER . EVEN PAPER MACHE DOES NOT DISSOLVE FULLY AND SETTLES DOWN, AND MAKES A LAYER . THOUGH ITS BETTER THAN PLASTER OF PARIS.

WE WORSHIP SMALL GANESH IDOL MADE OF MARBLE DUST... AFTER DOING IMMERSION RITUALS ,WE CLEAN IT AND WE KEEP THE IDOL IN CLEAN CLOTH FOR NEXT YEAR'S CELEBRATION.

DECORATION :
WE STRICTLY DO NOT USE THERMOCOL . INSTEAD WE USE OLD HOUSE HOLD ARTICLES , USED PACKAGING MATERIALS ,PERISHABLE DECORATIVE ITEMS... FEW HAND MADE PAPERS AND ... THAT'S ALL... WE AVOID PURCHASING FOR DECORATION...
YET WE PURCHASE FEW DEGRADABLE DECORATION ITEMS SUCH AS PADDY LEAF ITEMS , FLOWERS ,MANGO LEAF TORANS FROM STREET VENDORS...
AND YES THIS IS THE ONLY TIME WE BUY ITEMS WITHOUT BARGAINING FROM THIS OCCASIONAL SELLERS AS IT WILL HELP THEM TO MAKE SOME MONEY FOR COMING FESTIVALS.

IMMERSION : AS OUR IDOL IS NOT MADE OF CLAY ,PLASTER OF PARIS OR PAPER MACHE THERE IS NO CHANCE OF WATER POLLUTION... THOUGH WE DO IMMERSION AT OUR HOME IN GLASS / STEEL VESSELS AND POUR THIS HOLY WATER IN OUR PLANTS.

WE TAKE ALL THE FLOWERS AND OTHER PERISHABLE THINGS TO "NIRMALAYA KALASH" PUT BY CIVIC BODY TO USE THIS WASTE AS COMPOST.

WE TRY TO FOLLOW REDUCE ,REUSE AND RECYCLE...
HAVE LOOK AT OUR 2015 ECO FRIENDLY GANESH UTSAV... STAY BLESSED ...
