Workshop on preparing clay Ganesha idols on August 24

Parisarakkagi Naavu, an environmental organization, will host a workshop on August 24 to teach students how to create clay Ganesha idols at Mathrumandali Vidya Samsthe in Vontikoppal. The event, which runs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., is expected to draw more than 200 students from the school. Eight experienced artisans will guide the students through the process of sculpting Ganesha idols from clay, according to a statement from Parashuraramegowda, a representative of Parisarakkagi Naavu.

The organization has been organizing clay Ganesha-making workshops for the past five years, aiming to raise awareness about worshipping clay Ganesha idols during the Gowri-Ganesha festival instead of those made from Plaster of Paris (PoP) and painted.
