Haaram spurs green idols

Telangana governments’ flagship programme Haritha Haaram has inspired many people especially children and teenagers to install Green Ganesha idols which are popularly being called as ‘Haritha Haram Ganesh idols’.

Pandal organizers installed many Greeen Ganesh idols in the colonies and even decorating the pandal with many plants in the night time to attract the devotees and to spread message among the people about the important of greenery and  planting saplings.

One can find nearly five Haritha Haram Ganesh idols in the colonies of  Adilabad town alone.

V. Laxman of the Azad Ganesh Mandali of Tirpelli in the Adilabad town said they had installed the Hariha Haaram Ganesha idol to spread the message among the devotees at least during Navaratrulu about the importance of planning saplings, protection of plants and forest for good rains and control the environment pollution.

He observed that they inspired with Haritha Haram programme and installed the Green Ganesh idols instead plaster of paris idols to avoid pollution and to promote greenery.

On the other hand, it was found that there was less demand for the Ganesha idols made of plaster of paris by traditional Rajastan artists and they incurred huge loss this year as the idols remained unsold due to increased awareness among the people about eco-friendly Ganeshas.
Bharatiya Vidyarthi Ganesh Mandali member Thakkalapalli Pranab Kumar said they installed gardening grass Ganesha idol and even applying water in regular inter-wells to keep the grass shining and fresh to attract the devotees’.
