To mark the Ganesh Chaturthi, students of Sharda Vihar School distributed hand-made Ganesha idols in different areas of the city. The students distributed as many as 300 hand-made Ganesha idols to the citizens.
It is to be noted that a Eco-Friendly Ganesha Idol Making workshop was organised at the school premises wherein the students prepared 300 idols made out of clay. With an aim to spread awareness about eco-friendly Ganesha and also to encourage citizens towards eco-friendly Ganesha the students took up the initiative.
A formal training by the art mentors of the school Anant Sant and Akriti Rathore was held wherein the students learnt to create life like clay idols of lord Ganesha. Each idol was prepared with black clay and painted with natural colours like sindoor, kajal, turmeric and more herbal colours.
During the workshop, the students of fine arts showcased their creativity and broad imagery at its best. The students created various kinds and forms of lord Ganesha. Each form was different from another and so there was a variety of Ganesha’s forms.
While informing about the event, manager of Sharda Vihar School Ajay Shivhare said that the event was organised with a sole aim to encourage people about eco-friendly Ganesha. Ajay said that POP idols are harmful for the environment and so the clay idols were made on the occasion. He further said that the students distributed their hand-made idols at different areas that also helped them to get socialise and also to understand the society.
