But nowadays the idols made with POP are also immersed in water. We should immerse only the clay idols in water and not the idols made of hazardous chemicals like POP and other harmful chemicals.
To reserve fresh water in ponds, lakes and tanks and other water bodies, we need to dig out the old clay or soil in them.
The clay idol is worshiped with turmeric and some other natural herbs during ganapati navarathri. The herbal characters of these materials help the water animals like fish, tortoise to grow well. Points: 2. Prior to the social festival, there used to be tradition of 5 days of Ganesha festival with Ganesha idol hosted at home. However Lokmanya Tilak in Mumbai and Pune started this social festival routine.
This has now become yearly festival routine then onward. But as per the traditional routine home idol is only kept for the 5 days. Some of the people keep it for 1 day, 2 days and 5 days.
In case of the social idol hosting, the days are set for 11 days. For 11 days social hosting, you won't find any puranic reference. As the references for that would be limited to only 5 days. This ritual being started during the British time by the activist named Lokmanya Tilak has extended for social togetherness during the British rule.
Points: 3. Festival of Ganesha Chaturthi teaches us about ourselves. We souls are eternal and have been wearing different bodies in the form of costumes in each and every life. We after death leave the body and in another life take another costume.
This is eternal truth. Similarly, clay and water both are mixed and Ganesha idol is created. It is brought into our homes and worshiped with true spirit and then immersed back in water sources.
