Festivals are an inseparable part of the rich Indian culture, and every single festival stands out from the other. With the uniqueness of the celebration, the Ganesh Chaturthi festival comes with an eco-friendly Ganpati celebration idea. These extravagant 11-days festivals are full of light, pomp, enthusiasm, colors, and all you can witness are the adorable Ganpati murtis crafted by the local artisans.
These local artisans enhance the level of their creativity to make every Ganesh Chaturthi festival memorable and joyful. But what makes this festival even more special are the Ganpati idols made from 100% natural clay that is easily available at the stores. The online eco-friendly Ganesha idols that are available at My Pooja Box are free from POP, harmful chemicals, toxic, etc., and are made with pure love.
The exclusive collection of Ganesh idols made in India are available in a variety of sizes. They are painted with different colors and seated in pretty postures that contribute to a greener, better, and cleaner Earth. Here’s how the actual process of molding and making the Ganpati takes place at the eco-friendly workshop.
Sourcing of Clay or Soil:
The first and most crucial step in crafting beautiful Ganesh idols is selecting the right materials. For Ganesh Chaturthi 2025, the finest quality clay and mud are sourced and delivered to local artisans at the godown, where the idols are meticulously crafted. The mud from the Ganges, known for its purity, is rich in minerals and natural qualities, ensuring that it produces the best Ganesh idols. This soil’s smooth finish and soft texture prevent cracks, resulting in perfectly shaped idols for the upcoming festival.
Processing of the Clay:
Once the mud reaches the destination, the clay is thoroughly sieved so as to remove the unwanted particles, stones, plastic items, metal pieces, etc. Once done, the local artisans soak the same clay in the water for a whole night which lets the trapped air particles loosen themselves and get a hard dough, which works best when it comes to shaping.
Making of the clay Idols:
Every single clay Ganesh idol made in India showcases exquisite design and palette of colors blended, but the murtis available at My Pooja Box reflect the love and warmth filled in by the makers. Once the clay processing is done, the leather-hard clay mixed with seeds is divided into portions to shape the elements of the murti. Straw and chaff are also used, as they help the clay hold itself in place. Every single part is joined with water itself which then turns it into an unfinished piece of the murti.
Alongside layering the idol with clay water, wet cotton cloth is used to cover the idols that avoid cracking. These murtis are then sun-dried for a specific period of time, and once they are completely dry, the highlights like the eyes, tusks, ornaments, etc., are hand-painted with organic or natural colors. And thus, the eye-pleasing online eco-friendly Ganesha murtis from My Pooja Box are made ready for the grand celebration.
