Ibhanan Namah — Eco Ganesh Idols Online India

Ibhanan Namah — Eco-Friendly Ganesh Idols Online in India

Ibhanan Namah makes Ganapati murtis in the traditional Maharashtrian forms — Dagaduseth, Peshwai, Chaurang, Dhumravarna, Kamal, Paan and Nakshi Ganesh — in 8 and 9 inch heights, sized for home Ganeshotsav rather than public mandals.

What to check when buying an idol for visarjan

• Material. Natural shadu or river clay dissolves in water within hours. Plaster of Paris does not — it can take months and leaves residue in lakes and tanks. Several Indian states restrict PoP idols for immersion, so check the listed material before you buy.
• Colours. Water-based and mineral pigments break down safely. Enamel and metallic paints often carry heavy metals. Unpainted or lightly tinted clay is the safest option for home immersion.
• Height and weight. An 8 or 9 inch murti fits a standard home mandir shelf and can be carried and immersed in a bucket or drum at home. Measure your platform before ordering.
• Home visarjan. A clay idol will dissolve in a large bucket of water over a few hours. The remaining slurry can be poured into a garden bed or a potted plant.
• Handling. Unfired clay is fragile at the trunk and fingers. Unpack over a soft surface and lift from the base, never the trunk.
