Kottakota: In an effort to raise environmental awareness, the Wanaparthi District Arya Vysya Women’s Association, under the leadership of President Smt. Bhima Prasanna Lakshmi, organized a giveaway of clay Ganapati idols. This event took place at the Sri Vasavi Kanyakaparameshwari Temple in Kothakota Mandal on Monday.
Smt. Bhima Prasanna Lakshmi emphasized the importance of eco-friendly practices. She urged people to choose clay idols over those made from Plaster of Paris for Ganesh Chaturthi. “By using clay Ganapati idols, we can honor traditions and protect our environment,” she stated, funding the distribution herself.
Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with deep devotion in homes, where families bring idols, offer prayers, and later immerse the idols in water as part of the rituals.
During the event, Konduru Manjula, the newly elected Chief Secretary of the Wanaparthi District Women’s Association, was honored by the members for her new position.
