The best way to embrace this festival is to bring Ganesh idols made from sustainable or recycled materials such as clay that are non-toxic and can be safely immersed in water bodies. Use reusable/biodegradable decor such as recycled newspapers, paper fans, bamboo, straws and tissue paper to make origami wall hangings. 

Instead of submerging the Lord Ganesh idols in large water bodies, try immersing them in a tub of water in your backyard or balcony. Once the idol dissolves, you can repurpose the clay and plant small saplings, with this the essence of Ganpatiji will be in your home even after the visarjan

Rangoli, a simple homemade Ganpati decoration, is considered auspicious during special occasions and religious ceremonies. They represent the happiness, spirituality, and liveliness of a household. The bright colours and designs channel positive energies at home. Decorate your home with alluring rangoli designs such as peacocks, flowers, and diyas to pop your space.
