As Ganesh Chaturthi approaches, so does the search for beautiful makhars—the structure that houses idols of gods and deities. While the humongous thermocol makhars look stunning, their adverse effect on nature raises questions about environmental sustainability. Fortunately, Utsavi Decor is here with an eco-citing solution—their eco-friendly Ganpati makhars!

Founded in 2001 by Nanasaheb Shendkar, the company is the first to introduce sturdy and foldable makhars made from eco-friendly paper in Maharasthra and continues to live up to its legacy even today. Shendkar believes “let’s give back to nature, what it has given to us”, a quote which glues together their traditional yet conservational Ganpati makhar creations. The decorative articles like elephants, flowers, peacocks and bird feathers add a cultural essence to their environment-friendly products.

RECOMMENDED BY: Sushil Rapatwar, Utsavi Decor’s eco-friendly makhars definitely complement the environment. My family and I use the same makhar every year because the good quality makes it recyclable. I think this eco-friendly movement started by him is ideal for Ganeshotsav mandals all over the world.
