Since you are stuck at home, why not use the time at hand to craft your own Bappa? In an online workshop today, artist Shilpa Swaraj will teach how to do just that. For the hour-long workshop, you will need to source some clay, preferably from a pottery or a craft store near you. If you are unable to get clay, some maida or flour will also do the trick.

This can also be a good family bonding exercise, as well as your little contribution to saving the environment as the immersion for these idols can be done at home. This way, you can avoid the crowds during visarjan, and maintain social distancing. Isn't that the perfect way to worship the deity?
