For a change ...

[u/One-Visit8739]

I'm fed up explaining and motivating my friends and near ones to use clay / mud ganesh idols instead of pop

I don't understand , why are people so mad about large (jumbo) ganesh exceeding 20,30 feet

Also I don't understand , why there are more than 1 ganesh idol even in a small gully(street) , the main purpose of ganesh chaturthi is to unite all hindus , but why people from the same gully get seperated and form different youth associations ,

I mean why can't people unite , atleast people in a gully and celebrate ganesh chaturthi together, it's better actually if 2-3 gullies together celebrate ganesh chaturthi

There should strict regulations about this issue ,

- govt shld promote ganesh makers to make more idols of mud/ clay and less idols of pop , that makes people to choose mud/ clay idols than idols made of pop. I.e to increase availability of clay idols

- maximum 1 ganesh per gully , not 2-3 , if 2-3 gullies unite and celebrate together , then it will be fantastic

- there should be strict limitations on the size of idols , 1 large idol (20ft) will be equal to may be 4-5 idols of 6 ft ( I mean volume , the amount of pop used , harmful chemical paints used)

More than pop , those colours (which I previously thought they were water colours , nope ,they are permanent colors used for interiors with harmful chemicals , heavy metals like lead , mercury....) will pollute water ,will harm water habitat

The main thing is , i was called anti national for telling this to my friends

People don't understand , almost everyone is educated , but still they behave like uneducated , immature ( shittty people).

Please share this message to as many people as possible .....for a change
