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.
