Actor, producer and host Pushkar Shrotri brings home a Tree Ganesha and inspires fans to support this movement of a harmonious festival of Ganpati. This concept is exactly what we need in a world where forests are being cut or burned by humans across the world.
Every year thousands of people bring the idols of Ganapati for Ganesh Chaturthi, celebrate the festival and then immerse it in the seas, lakes or rivers for ‘visarjan’. What people forget is the plaster used in the idols and the chemical-based poisonous colors used for decoration, pollute the water bodies.
To combat this problem, biodegradable idols of clay and organic colors were invented. Pushkar tells us, Tree Ganesha is a concept that takes it one step further. It will help you celebrate eco-friendly Ganpati by using idols of clay and organic colors and it also has seeds of plants within the idol. This Ganesha idol comes with a pot-like base. During visarjan, you can keep this idol in your garden and pour water over it to complete visarjan. The idol dissolves and starts growing as a plant.
Pushkar requests fans to order Ganapati idols from Tree Ganesh and take a step towards respecting nature. He shared a noble thought, ‘Nature is God and God is Nature’. Let us hope that Pushkar's this small step towards the environment will give rise to a big change!
