Environmental Friendly Vinayaka Idol

We have been celebrating Vinayaka Chaturthi with fervor at home as well at community level for years. There has been a steady evolution of idols.

Years ago we used to install an idol made of plaster of Paris, painted with synthetic colours. As my environmental consciousness has increased, we changed to an idol made of clay. This year there has been a talk of idols made of paper. Taking a leaf out of the environmental friendly book, we too have performed puja to a "green" Vinayaka this year. It is made of dough. All credits to my better-half for making it.

Here are the pictures of the 'Dough Vinayaka'.
