We are pleased to inform that the ‘Shree Ganesh Gaurav Puraskar’ by Bombay Municipal Corporation for the year 2010, in the category ‘Best Sculptor’, has been awarded to Shree Aniruddha Aadesh Pathak, for its Idol placed with Pragati Mitra Mandal, Mhatrewadi, Borivali(W), which consists of a Certificate, A Memento And Cheque of Rs. 10000.

ECO-FRIENDLY GANESH MURTI PROJECT

The Eco-Friendly Ganesh Murti Project consists of making of Lord Ganesha idols from paper pulp. This paper pulp is made from shredded paper of ‘Ramanam’ notebooks used by the devotees, who write ‘Ramanam’ and deposit these notebooks at Upasana centers or directly with Aniruddha’s Universal Bank of Ramanam (AUBR).
These Idols disintegrate easily upon submersion in water, as compared to idols made from Plaster of Paris, which takes significantly longer to disintegrate. A notable aspect is that, the paints used are non toxic, thus contributing significantly to the control over pollution of the environment.
