All Ganesh idols in K'taka village POP-free this year
All the 110 Ganesh idols displayed in Karnataka's Kalkere village this year were made of clay instead of POP, following a campaign by five school children. They had approached Agastya International Foundation, an NGO, with the idea of celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi with POP-free idols. They requested every festival organiser in the village to use eco-friendly materials to make the idols.
