Artist creates Ganesha idols containing seeds
Indian artist Dattadri Kothur has created Ganesha idols that contain plant seeds inside them. Named 'Tree Ganesha', the initiative includes crafting Ganesha idols out of organic materials like clay, that will disintegrate when they are wet. Once they have dampened, the seeds inside can be planted for germination. The initiative aims to reduce pollution from idol immersion during Ganesha Chaturthi.
