PANI MEIN GANESH

Ganesh chaturthi is one of the greatest festival celebrated in India with imense love .The festival is marked with the installation of Ganesha clay idols privately in homes, or publicly on elaborate pandals (temporary stages). Observations include chanting of Vedic hymns and Hindu texts such as, prayers and brata (fasting).
Though it is a Marathi culture but is well adopted by North India as well.
Be it Lucknow, Kanpur or any other nothern city Ganpati is ceremonialized with all the respect and faith.

Ganesh chaturthi that was on 2 september,2019 . Market had huge rush be it for the murtis or for decoration materials. When asked the local vendor who hale from Rajasthan and are sculptors also locally called murtikars,they informed about the rise in demand for small size Ganesha sculptor in comparison to the big size murtis.

They also told that the business as compared to last few years was amazingly flourished,this is also a sign for a good Diwali for corporate sector.

The question that first arised while purchasing the murti was "Is it eco friendly?" The answer was yes . Nirmala devi who was the shop owner ellaborated that the sculpture was made of jute,plaster that easily dissolves in water. When switched to next shop Sitaram the local vendor told that murti had POP that takes atleast a month to mix into the water well and also the colours used were not environment friendly.

Well,there are many pandals organised every year on this occassion this can also be the sign of ununity or multiplicity in our society . Where one pandal can reduce the pollution by adopting one murti but as the sign of wealth and standard people come up destroying our very own mother earth unintentionally. From years this is happening and we have no clue, 'कब तक रहेंगे पानी में गणेश।'
