The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike, BBMP, had made good arrangements at the immersion spot. I saw people pulling out frames of the idols, sorting out the garbage, hope they are categorized and disposed off well.
I saw these idols right from the stages when it was just a lump of clay. Every item that went to making these idols is biodegradable. No fiber glass or plaster of paris used. The idol makers from Kamartuli, not very highly educated yet, they proved themselves to be eco friendly.

Wow! A tradition so far far from mine.. very interesting to see! :)
very interesting tradition!
A fascinating tradition. What a ceremony!
It is a good thing that people are using bio-degradable products. It won't be a mess for long and will decompose into earth. :)
So needs to be changed :( Nice take on the theme!
That is a huge step towards environment consciousness. Here in Mumbai, the scene is pathetic after Ganesh Chathurti.
Well, hoping for a revolution *fingers crossed*
Nice shots and an interesting take on the theme.
Interesting tradition and most importantly, respecting the environment.
I loved the second snap. Well captured. This is the Ulsoor Lake?
It looks like a fantastic happening. It's great that people all over the world tried to find as many reasons as possible to celebrate something, and as long as the celebrations are happy, it's excellent.
Good one, Indrani! as long as people are aware and try to clean up the mess, things will be all right... here there is so much of a crowd at ganesha immersions, it is really one big mess.. wish people would tend to their own work and clean up after themselves rather than wait for others to do the work for them!
Nice to hear about the ecofriendly idol and immersion. :)
Wow! All that celebration and eco-friendly as well?! Amazing.
What a delightful festival!

love the second photo of the splash..
Thanks for showing us this interesting tradition. I really enjoy the pretty "mess" of the last shot.
arent eco friendly idols supposed to be without colors
this mess surely needs to go away
good take on the theme
This entire series has been absolutely fascinating. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Such an interesting tradition and great shots.
Two beautiful posts about this interesting tradition, Indrani!
Very cool tradition.. and eco-friendly to boot!
Fascinating glimpses into what is for me, a tradition worlds apart from what we see everyday where we live.
