A miniature artist in Berhampur has created eco-friendly idols of Lord Ganesh using natural materials for the Ganesh Chaturthi celebration.

These lightweight idols are designed to dissolve easily in water, offering a sustainable alternative for Ganesh Puja. Moharana, known for his miniature art on various deities and personalities, hopes to inspire a shift towards greener festival practices.
