Mysuru: There is less than a week to go for Ganesha Chaturthi celebrations, and in an indication of growing concern among citizens for the environment, business at stalls set up at the JSS Mysore Urban Haat selling eco-friendly idols of the elephant-headed God appeared to be brisk.
The ban on Plaster of Paris (PoP) idols, coupled with a slew of initiatives undertaken by the government highlighting the benefits of eco-friendly idols, appears to be yielding desirable results. Besides idols made of clay, the other substance that customers appeared to prefer was terracotta.
