Coimbatore: In the recent years, the trend of eco-friendly Vinayagar Chaturthi celebrations is on the rise. Every year, people have gone a step ahead and adore Vinayagar statues the most environment-friendly way. Ganesha statues made of simple, affordable eco-friendly materials including paper, flour and so on add to responsible festive fervour.



With Vinayagar Chaturthi celebrations around the corner, Sadhguru, Founder of Isha Yoga Centre has emphasised that "Ganapathi as an idol must be made in natural and organic content; soil, rice flour, millet flour or turmeric are usually the material that has always been used."

Appealing to citizens in a video message, Sadhguru said, “You must understand you have been given the liberty to create a God and then dissolve a God. Please use only organic, dissolvable material. Turn

Ganapathi into an eco-friendly force.”

He added that this is important for the preservation of this culture and the glorification of the great God that we call as Ganesha. He called on citizens to “pledge to celebrate him responsibly & with care,” in his Twitter message.
