It is time for the Lord of Lords — Lord Ganesha — to arrive. The most powerful and the most merciful of all Gods needs some extra care and some extra attention. It is only fair that we pamper Him to the fullest and extend Him a grand celebration. But make sure not to disappoint Him by harming the environment opting for Plaster of Paris and paper-moulded idols and later immersing them, choking water bodies. You have better ways to impress the elephant-headed God and one among them is going Green. With Ganesha Chaturthi round the corner, clay artisans in city are working overtime to meet the demand for Gowri-Ganesha idols. The festival falls on Sept.12 and 13. This Weekend Star Supplement features artisans who have gone Green this year with eco-friendly idols devoid of Plaster of Paris and laced with natural dyes and colours.
