Moulding the life-like clay model with clay, the youngsters then decorated it with natural colours, giving the statue an enchanting look. As the city is gripped in preparing for the festivities of Ganesh Chaturthi, the youngsters are preparing for the festival in eco-friendly way.
A two-day workshop of Eco Friendly Ganesha Making Workshop was organised at Srajana Academy of Fine Arts and Design wherein the participants created beautiful statues of lord Ganesha. The workshop began on Saturday and concluded on Sunday.
The students were trained by artist Devendra Shakya. During the two-day workshop, the students of fine arts showcased their creativity and broad imagery at its best.
As many as 35 students of the academy created the beautiful idols of lord Ganesha during the two-day workshop. The students created various kinds and forms of lord Ganesha. Each form was different from another and so there were a variety of Ganesha’s forms.
Some students created in sitting form, while some created a warrior form. Each idol was beautiful and different from another. It was a two day workshop, so the students were excited to be a part of it.
On the first day, the students created the model out of clay and here on Sunday, the students painted their idols with natural colours. The students used turmeric, kumkum, sindoor and colour made out of leaves to colour their friend Ganesha.
Talking about the workshop, Sunil Shukla of Srajana Academy said, “It was a wonderful experience watching the students preparing their idols with divinity.”
During the workshop the students also listened to devotional music on lord Ganesha, that added much zest in the workshop.
