Ganesh Chaturthi 2019: Reasons You Should Get Home Eco-friendly Ganesha Idols
Just a few days are left for the year's biggest puja - Ganesh Chaturthi which falls on September 5 this year. Everyone must be busy with the preparations, right from the sweets, dresses, decorations and selecting the idol. But if you are still in the process of deciding on which Ganesha idol you are getting home, then you should definitely go for an eco-friendly Ganesha idol.
Yes, it is true that all of us get attracted to the glitter and colourful of Ganesha idols that have painted the market with all their colourful hues for the past few weeks. But keeping in mind the impact these have on our health we should avoid them, and instead go for eco-friendly Ganesha idols.
These
eco-friendly
Ganesha
idols
are
made
of
clay
and
hence
are
bio-degradable.
When
immersed
in
water
these
do
not
harm
human
life,
aquatic
life
or
the
environment.
These
might
look
dull
and
children
would
not
prefer
them
much
as
they
will
not
be
attractive.
But
considering
the
health
aspects
it
is
always
better
to
go
for
eco-friendly
Ganesha
idols.
Here are five important reasons why you should avoid colourful painted Ganesha idols and get home eco-friendly Ganesha idols. Have a look.
1.
Affects
The
Nervous
System:
The
paints
which
are
used
to
decorate
the
Ganesha
idol
contain
heavy
metals
like
mercury
and
lead.
These
affect
the
nervous
system
and
kids
and
pregnant
women
are
among
the
worst
affected.
Hence
one
should
avoid
colourful
Ganesha
idols
and
go
for
eco-friendly
ones.
2.
Affects
The
Digestive
System:
The
dyes
that
are
used
to
make
the
idols
colourful
are
actually
harmful.
ItThese
contain
harmful
metals
like
mercury,
lead
and
cad
mium.
All
these
metals
contaminate
the
water
when
immersed
and
when
ingested
it
has
a
severe
effect
on
the
digestive
system.
3.
Affects
The
Lungs:
Along
with
the
dyes
and
colours,
the
plaster
of
paris
(POP)
used
to
make
the
idols
also
can
have
bad
effects
on
the
health.
When
immersed
it
pollutes
the
water.
This
water
when
used
affects
the
lungs.
Also
when
the
glitters
used
on
the
idol
get
rubbed
on
the
hands,
these
get
ingested,
and
especially
in
children
these
cause
severe
damage
to
the
lungs.
So
the
best
alternative
is
to
use
eco-friendly
Ganesha
in
order
to
avoid
these
kinds
of
health
hazards.
4.
Causes
Skin
Allergy:
When
the
water
is
used
following
the
immersion
of
the
colourful
Ganesha
idols
it
affects
the
skin
causing
serious
allergies
and
rashes.
So
why
do
we
need
to
create
such
unnecessary
health
problems?
The
best
way
out
is
to
get
eco-friendly
Ganesha
idols.
5.
Affects
The
Eyes:
Eyes
are
yet
another
part
of
the
body
which
get
severely
affected
with
the
colours
used
in
the
Ganesha
idols.
When
the
polluted
water
gets
splashed
in
the
eyes
when
these
idols
are
immersed
in
water
tanks,
it
creates
a
burning
sensation
and
causes
infections
in
the
eyes.
Hence, do not think twice, go ahead and get an eco-friendly Ganesha made out of clay, and have an environmentally friendly and healthy Ganesh Chaturthi. For the past few years these eco-friendly Ganesha idols are easily available in the markets.
