Ganesh Chaturthi is around the corner, and just like that the whole of Mumbai will come alive with festive fervour that will reverberate through every other street. It gets even better because at home, is more intimate with family and friends, but even that requires quite a bit of a preparation. 

While many people have help around them, those who live alone may often want to celebrate but not know how to get started, but you don’t have to worry, here’s a guide to help you get started: 

Eco-friendly idols
Getting Lord Ganesha’s idol is one of the most important aspects of the festival but even that has changed over the years. While POP idols were popular earlier, they are slowly being replaced by eco-friendly idols over time, one of the most popular options being clay idols. With the traditional idols known to cause water pollution, eco-friendly idols are the way forward, and one that should be on your list.
