For the upcoming Ganesh Festival, we SOYF wanted to make it more eco friendly.
In association with Konark Arts. we organized at GANESH IDOL making workshop with Tech Mahindra Kothrud ( Pune ) premises. We had adult's and kids mixed combination for the workshop.
The goal of workshop was to avoid Soil and Water pollution. We have used Shadu Clay.Shadu Clay is a Natural clay. It is pollution free and helps to maintain the greenery environment. The clay has high plasticity. It is most suitable for making Idols.
We have avoided using PoP ( Plaster of Paris ) PoP does not dissolve in the water used in immersion tanks. The sludge formed is thrown in the open, which hardly gets decomposed thereby leading to soil pollution.
The color used on idols are water based with no harm to water body.
We once again thank Tech Mahindra for giving us the opportunity to conduct the workshop.
