Ganesha Idol Making Workshop

August 23 @ 10:00 AM12:00 PM

Join us for a creative and meaningful experience as we come together to sculpt Lord Ganesha with natural clay! This hands-on workshop is designed for all age groups—kids, families, and art enthusiasts—where you’ll learn the art of idol-making while promoting sustainability and devotion.

Volunteers are welcome to come forward to help.

Ganesh Chaturthi, the festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha, is one of the most vibrant and cherished festivals in India. Traditionally, idols of Ganesha are installed in homes and public places, worshipped with devotion, and immersed in water with the hope that the Lord will return the following year. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness about the environmental impact of Plaster of Paris (POP) idols and chemical paints used in mass-produced idols. As a result, many people are turning to eco-friendly clay Ganesha idols, which are both beautiful and safe for nature.
