Gift Loved Ones a Ganesha Idol This Ganesh Chaturthi as a Symbol of Prosperity: 10 Beautiful Ganpati Idols Available Online (2019)

Before you decide to buy Ganesh idol gift for your loved ones on this Ganesh Chaturthi, you should know the meaning of the trunk of the idol too. Apparently, when the trunk is facing towards a specific side, there is a meaning behind it.

When the trunk is facing left side it represents Ida Nadi and ideal for the home. When it is facing the right side then it represents Pingala Nadi and it is considered perfect for temples because it is required proper “Seva”. When the trunk faces straight it represents Sushumna Nadi but these idols are rare and hard to find. So, pick the idol whose trunk is facing the left side for gifting purpose.

You should also know that the Ganesha Idol is made up of what kind of material. The common ones are metal, resin, clay, etc. If you are gifting the idol for Visarjana then make sure that it is made out of eco-friendly material as you would not want to spread pollution in the environment. The material also determines the price of the idol too.

Before buying Ganpati murti for yourself or someone else, make sure that you do not buy any of the idols which can cause harm to the environment. Not only that, but we have got some other tips for you which are going to help you in celebrating an eco-friendly Ganesh Chaturthi this time. Do spread the words with your loved ones too.

We keep on pondering this point the most that you must buy eco-friendly/ bio-degradable Ganesha idol. Whether you are buying it for yourself or your loved ones, always buy such an idol which is small in size and can be dissolved in water completely. The colours painted on the idol also play an important role in this and you should also prefer non-toxic colours for it.

Instead of doing the Visarjan in water bodies like ponds, rivers, sea or any other natural form, you must do the Visarjan in artificial immersion tanks. Dropping the idol in water resources like rivers and lakes can cause severe health hazards as this water is used for drinking and irrigation purposes. You can create an immersion tank for a community so that other idols can be dropped in it too.

Ganesh Chaturthi is a rather popular festival and also celebrated with huge enthusiasm. But with big things come big responsibility. Rather than buying an idol in every other household, you can limit the number of idols per community. This will cause less number of visarjans and hence can decrease the amount of water pollution, noise pollution, air pollution caused. This can be a powerful step towards maintaining the balance between celebration and environment.

While giving Ganesh idol gift to your dear ones, make them promise that they will cause no noise pollution this time. Apart from water pollution, noise pollution becomes a major problem on Ganesh Chaturthi. Rather than playing the music on huge speakers, one can prefer low sound instruments like Tabla, Sitar etc. There is always an alternative to such issues which can be put into consideration when thinking about the betterment of our environment.
