Tree Ganesha

Supporting nature :

Ganesh Idols available in the market: Idols that are available in the market called eco-friendly Ganpati are made up of clay and other ingredients mixed into it for hardening. Some Idols are proved to not be eco friendly for the reason that during immersion these clay material and other ingredients may not dissolve in the water and settle at the water bed. This proves it to be still harmful to the nature.

Immersing an eco-friendly Ganesha is still leading to water pollution. Due to the decorations used on them that are made up of plastic and fiber.

vs

Tree Ganesha's idol: Tree Ganesha's idols, on the other hand, are Immersion free and do not need a lot of water for the visarjan. Idols can be placed and watered with few glasses of water which loosens the structure and the immersion ceremony is conducted without any pollution. Tree Ganesha's idols have seeds implanted in itself. The idols when immersed, later plants are grown out of them. This not only helps with the plant, this plant later helps to provide freshness to the whole house. Positive vibes and happiness are surrounded by the house. The vibes of the festival are still maintained. Plants not only help for this only reason but many more. Our Idols are not decorated with plastic and fiber materials, so its 100% eco-friendly and cannot cause any harm to the environment. Signifying the true meaning of Tree Ganesha.

The idol. As many other eco-friendly Ganesh murtis are made with clay but they still have decorative items on them. They are painted with decorative colors as well which contain lead and mercury and are not entirely on the terms of being eco friendly. Eco-friendly Ganpati idols which are made up of clay or other materials. They are still made with some added materials to provide strength to the idol. which proves not to be completely eco friendly. Eco-friendly Ganesha idols available in the market have to still be immersed into a water body which leads to again forming of water pollution and does not provide an edge on other types of models. Whereas the tree Ganesha is concerned, the initiative is completely different our Ganpati idols are made from red soil and have seeds of plants already in them.

How does it work? When you bring your Bappa home and worship him for the festival. At the visarjan ceremony, you have to just place the idol in an open area along the with the pot and then add some glasses of water till the idol is completely dissolved and they let it sit aside for few days. We have our Bappa still among us but now in the form of a plant. Helping others too.

Pricing: Eco-friendly Ganpati is costlier than the Tree Ganesha's Idols. prices are reasonable compared to the features provided by our idols. Eco-friendly Ganesha's available In the market do not provide value as much as Tree Ganesha's Idols.

Portability: The eco-friendly Ganesha's are made up of clay hence they are very fragile compared to the Tree Ganesha's idol. Our idols are portable and even can be transported with ease.

Build: Sometimes Eco-friendly Ganesh idols are made up of clay may tend to crack upon extreme heat or if not made properly and destroy the look and feel of the idol.

“Choose perfect, not good”

As per research reportedly the post effects on marine life are noticeable to a large scale. After the immersion ceremony for the span of 10 days. The change in PH level, the temperature of the water and dissolved solutes are exponentially high. As we here at tree Ganesha work towards making eco-friendly Ganpati idols. Our main goal is to make this world a pollution-free world with respect to contributing by making eco-friendly idols.

Many people think that using eco-friendly Ganpati would only solve the problem of pollution. The 10 day-long festival of Ganesh Chaturthi also leads to the generation of huge waste from flowers, decoration, incense sticks, and fruits. These materials are mostly stuffed within the plastic bags and are thrown near the immersion locations. Leading to mismanaged garbage collection and accumulation in one place.

The idols are heavily decorated with huge amounts of paints containing lead, magnesium, mercury and also synthetic oils. These substances do not dissolve in the water bodies leading to adverse effects on marine life causing water and soil pollution. The POP (plaster of Paris) idols are also made from artificial materials that are insoluble and effect by creating pollution. And mismanagement of waste. This material is heavy in nature sink into the water bodies and is settled into the water bed. Which directly affects the coral bed, which is the breeding ground for the fishes.

How are we not contributing to this? We at tree Ganesha are happy by solving this problem and bringing you a divine and future conscious approach. Our idols are made from 100% eco-friendly materials and we do not use any kind of plastic. Our paints are used at a minimal level and are natural materials. We are plastic neutral. we do not use any kind of plastic during production and do not encourage plastic.

Our idols are made from red soil or called lal maathi that is directly available from mother nature. This material is natural and does not contain any harmful substances. The soil from the idol is used for planting a new tree.

The decoration of the idols contains no synthetic materials or plastic materials that are harmful to nature. Natural colors are used and at a minimal quantity.

How bad are the effects of immersion ceremony? The below table shows the adverse effect on water bodies after the immersion of POP idols. These are official figures and can make us realize how deeply we are affecting nature.

The effect is drastic compared to the only reason causing this pollution. The rise in water salinity is also a major factor causing it. This does not affect only the marine life inside the water but also the life above the water. The current rising temperature on earth due to human activity is adversely leading to rising water levels. Immersion of idols adds up to it. So let us leave a beautiful world behind for our upcoming generations.

How we are making your future generations safe? Adaptation is the biggest strength. so let us adapt and bring this season an eco-friendly tree Ganesha's Ganesha at our home and celebrate with great happiness and not affecting nature. This does not only bring a positive aspect for the future but also makes a good habit for the younger kids to follow an eco-friendly lifestyle. Our greatest followers are our children and the young generation, leading them to the right path will not cost us anything by taking this part and just making a small change by today itself. Whereas, the idols made by tree Ganesha are eco friendly and are immersion free.
