Plantable Ganesha
waking him up…
drag to turn him · tap for a hello
“Bring me home.
Then plant me.”
A little Bappa made of river clay and real seeds. Pray to him, immerse him in a pot of water at home, and watch him come back as a plant.
Bring him homeEvery year he goes into the water… and doesn't come back the same.
Plaster-of-Paris idols don't really dissolve, and the bright paints on them can carry heavy metals into the water our rivers and seas are made of.
The visarjan we love is quietly hurting the water
Months
Plaster-of-Paris idols can sit on riverbeds for months instead of dissolving in a day like clay does.
Heavy metals
Bright chemical paints can carry lead, chromium and mercury into the same water we drink and fish from.
One choice
Switching a single idol to clay and seeds keeps all of that out of the river — and gives you a plant.
Widely reported by Indian pollution control boards and civic bodies; exact figures vary by city and year, so we've kept these qualitative rather than quoting a single number.

Three steps, at home
- 1
Bring him home and do your puja exactly as you always do.
- 2
On visarjan day, place him in a pot and pour water over him. He softens into soil.
- 3
Keep watering. In a few weeks a sprout appears — that's him, still with you.
A month later, he's on your windowsill. Greener, and still listening.
