Ganesha With A Twist
Out of his 'WhatsApp wonderbox' gems, Anand Mahindra tweeted an innovate Ganesha creative, with dry fruits being arranged to resemble an idol. He said that it was both creative and symbolic as it is made with 'perishable materials'.
Out of all the Ganesh Chaturthi messages I received today in my #whatsappwonderbox this was the most creative. I like the symbolic meaning as well: The ‘materials’ are perishable—just like life. A gift that is beautiful but transient.. pic.twitter.com/xBReMa2gCG

Ganesh Chaturthi falls in the month of August or September every year and usually lasts 10 days. Ganesh pandals, idols are installed across the country, especially in Maharashtra where the festival is considered the most important of the year. In recent times, Ganesh idols made from plastic and Plaster of Paris (PoP) are proving to be detrimental for the animal and plant life. As a result, many are opting for eco-friendly idols, typically made of clay, mud, and fruits - or as in Anand Mahindra's case - dry fruits.
