3 Things To Do For a Safe Ganesh Chaturthi Ganesh Chaturthi is a beloved North Indian festival, celebrated for 10 days to honour the God of good fortune and wisdom, Ganesha. The celebrations are conducted in public with roar and cheer, large pandals and huge Ganesh idols. Every home also welcomes ganesh idols to worship for 10 days, after which the idols are put in water bodies to dissolve. Only thing though, is that, they do not dissolve and remain as toxins in the water bodies causing pollution. The excessive public celebrations cause noise pollution as well as exceed the electric consumption. And with the current global situation, the crowds and gatherings cause conundrum as well. A festival celebrating victory over obstacles, good heath and fortune and wisdom, should not cause this amount of harm. So, here are 3 things you can do to have a safe and healthy Ganesh Chaturthi.
1.Idol – The first and the most important thing to do, for a safe Ganesh Chaturthi, is to buy eco friendly ganesh idols. The damage caused by idols made of plaster- of-paris is huge and must not be supported. You can buy eco friendly ganesh idols from local stores, small businesses and online sites. 2.Do not go into the crowd – With the pandemic situation, it is best to avoid crowds entirely. You can celebrate a safe and wonderful Ganesh Chaturthi at home with your family and friends, delicious home food and gifts, worshipping an idol that is eco friendly. If you do have to go out into the bustling streets, make sure you wear a mask. 3.Say no to plastic - The excess of food and sweets during festivals hike up the use of plastic from the local market. When you go shopping, remember to bring your own carry bag so that you can say no to plastic usage at all costs and remain environment friendly.
