Eco-friendly is the way to go this Ganesh Chaturthi! Make way for Tejukaya Ganpati, the 22 feet tall Ganesh Idol which is made entirely out of biodegradable materials like paper, bamboo, mud, soluble adhesives and colours that will help with faster immersion. Tejukaya Ganesh Utsav has set an example by going completely green this year!
The idol took more than half a year to be fully completed and 15 workers were responsible for the making of this eco-friendly Ganesha. And one of the most important things is that this Ganesh Idol, will just take 45 minutes to completed dissolve in the sea and not leave behind any harmful materials.
