Ganpati Festivals are set to kick start across the country and it is hugely celebrated in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Bhumi Pednekar, who is a passionate climate advocate, is appealing to the citizens to choose eco-friendly Ganpati for the festivities. Given the Coronavirus situation, the immersion of the idol too becomes extremely sensitive and Bhumi feels people should adopt to DIY methods of making Ganpati idols at home that have numerous benefits for our nature too!

Bhumi says, "This is my most favourite festival and we have been celebrating Ganpati for years in my family. Since, I have been on this journey of climate conservation, I have realised that there are better ways of celebrating this festival, more sustainable ways. Nature is GOD, GOD is nature and we have to find better alternatives."
