Eco- friendly Ganesh
The next big campaign of TV9 is an
annual event of the channel to promote eco - friendly Ganesh. In the past
TV9 was a role model in the making of a huge eco- friendly Ganesh to show
people that it is possible to have greener options instead of POP idols prevalent
for the festival all over the country.
In 2015 September TV9 in
association with Doondi Ganesh Seva Samiti set up eco- friendly Ganesh at
Ghantasala Sangeeta Kalasala in Vijayawada. The sixty three feet tallest
Ganesh entered the Limca Book of Records. In the making of Ganesh twenty-five
tonnes of iron, thirty tonnes of wood, seventy tonnes of clay and one a
half-ton of coconut fibre was used. On an average two lakh people visited the
idol everyday for a period of eleven days. Celebrities also graced the
festivities. For the immersion of the idol an innovative idea was implemented.
Sprinklers arranged behind the idol poured water from above and slowly the idol
melted at the place where it stood. Vijayawada people came in lakhs to watch
this wonder on the immersion day.
The next year in 2016 and in successive years TV9 set up many eco-friendly Ganesh idols in Vijayawada and Hyderabad. This year too TV9 plans to carry out the Green Ganesha campaign.
