These eco-friendly Ganesha idols are made using biodegradable raw materials that don't have any inorganic materials. So, when these idols are immersed in water for the Virsarjan, they will not be harming the water bodies in comparison to those idols made out of plaster of paris.
What's even more remarkable is that people of Bengaluru also set an astounding Guinness World Records for the highest number of people gathered for sculpting with the model clay, which was a total of 2,138. So, there we have it - a double win for the people of Bengaluru!
