Udupi Deputy Commissioner Kurma Rao M. has asked people to opt for eco-friendly Gowri and Ganesh idols while celebrating Gowri Ganesha festival on Thursday and Friday. He has asked people to participate in large numbers in a campaign of Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) to promote the use of turmeric-based Ganesh idols. People can make or purchase the idols made from turmeric mixed with wheat or ragi flour. If such idols are immersed in water bodies, the water will not be contaminated. People should avoid using plastic-based decorative material. Instead, flowers and green leaves can be used for decoration. People can use coconut shells as the “peetha” or pedestal for installing mini idols, he said in a statement.More Related News
