Shadu clay idols dissolve faster than those made of regular clay. It is environment-friendly and has a low carbon footprint. At the time of immersion, it can be immersed in a bucket of water at home wherein it returns into its clay form and can be reused for sculpting.
“The kids learnt how to sculpt their own eco-friendly Ganesh idol during the workshop,” said Dimple Somji, member of With Love NGO.
