Eco-friendly and Biodegradable: Made from natural materials like cow dung and sometimes natural clay or gum, they dissolve completely in water without releasing harmful chemicals or pollutants, unlike idols made of Plaster of Paris (POP)
Home Immersion: The idols can be safely immersed at home in a bucket or tub of water, which avoids polluting natural water bodies.
Natural Manure: After immersion and dissolution, the resulting mixture converts into compost which can be used as manure for plants and gardens.
Spiritual and Purifying: In Indian tradition, cow dung (gomay) is considered sacred and is believed to possess purifying properties, promoting positivity, prosperity, and a sense of spiritual harmony in the home.
Supports Artisans: The production of these handcrafted idols often supports women's self-help groups and rural artisans, contributing to their livelihoods and preserving traditional craftsmanship.
