We are almost two weeks away from Ganesh Chathurthi, but if you're planning to welcome his stay at your house, switch to an eco-friendly idol, celebrating the festival environmentally conscious. Here's a list of sustainable Ganeshas available to purchase, helping you celebrate the day the green way.
Eco-Friendly Ganesh Murtis:
Nursery Live
Nursery Live's offering an Eco-friendly seed Ganesh Murti for everyone looking to switch to a sustainable option. All you need to do is put the murti in a pot during visarjan, leaving it for 7-10 days while it dissolves, with the seeds germinating in a few weeks. This way, Lord Ganesha is with you at all times, even post the festival. Nursery Live also offers clay Ganeshas with air purifier plants and an oxygen-enriching indoor garden, allowing you to help decorate sustainably. The plantable Ganesha will grow into a basil plant upon planting it, a significant plant for many, helping celebrate the festival pollution-free.

My Pooja Box
My Pooja Box has rolled out a collection especially for Ganesh Chaturthi, offering everything from the idol to decorations and even hampers for gifting. Their eco-friendly Ganesha idols use 100% naturally sourced clay involving plant seeds that will grow once you water your Ganesh idol after the desired days. The water will dissolve the clay, taking the seeds along with it, leading to the growth of a beautiful plant. Their main aim was to help you grow a plant from within the holy energy of Lord Ganesh himself, allowing positivity to constantly remain in your homes while also helping the environment, a win-win for everyone! They even offer a biodegradable Coconut idol using an original coconut shell, perfect for those who might not have the space or ability to plant the Murti while still remaining eco-conscious. They are available in different styles and sizes, providing plenty of options to pick for the festival.
