Eco-Friendly Ganpati idol at home!!!
According to the Hindu calendar, ganesh chaturthi begins on the Chaturthi date of Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada. Ganpati was born on this day. This year ganesh chaturthi comes on 31st august and if you worship Ganpati with an eco-friendly idol made by your own hands, then its auspicious results will be more.
The preparations for this 10-day long festival are in full swing. In such a situation, how can you make an idol of Ganpati at home, let's tell its complete method and easy way. For this, you can also use flour, clay, normal clay or flour.
Prepare flour or maida like this
Mix arrowroot in flour or maida and mix your favourite colour in it. Now knead this dough with water mixed with vinegar. This will neither spoil the dough nor will ants come. Add turmeric or food colour to this flour. With this, you will be able to make colourful Ganpati.
Prepare the soil like this
If you want to make Ganpati from clay, then sieve the soil twice with a fine sieve and mix some sand in it. Mix three spoons of sand in a bowl of soil. Knead it well. Mixing sand will keep the soil-bound. If you want, you can also use it as children's play clay.
How to make Ganpati?
1-Take one of the four pieces of dough or clay, flatten it and make the base of your idol. Use a scale to smooth out the edges.
2- Make a circular torso in the idol and use a toothpick to connect the body and base of the idol. If there is no toothpick, then use 2-3 drops of water to stick both.
3- Make four long rolls to make the legs, arms and trunk of the idol. Take two rolls, flatten the ends of the rolls outwards and stick them on the torso of the idol. Take a roll, wrap it around the idol just above the feet and flatten one arm upwards so that it looks like a blessing.
4-Make a palm for the idol. Make fingers and thumb on it carefully. Take another piece of clay and roll it into a ball shape and place it over the body. Here is the head of the idol.
5-Depending on your preference, make the trunk. You can also give a pointed look to the tip of the trunk.
6-Make small-sized balls for ears, eyes and laddoos. Use 3-4 drops of water for all of them and stick. Glue the ears and flatten them. Cover the eyes and keep laddoos on hand.
7-Give the final touch and place the idol of Ganpati in a leafy bowl or any other thing.
