The workshop, titled ‘A Clay Moulding Workshop with Ganesha – Moulding Bappa’, brought together children and youngsters for a hands-on creative activity ahead of the Ganesh festival

The participants enthusiastically worked with clay to shape their own Ganesha idols

The activity allowed the children to explore their creativity while learning the traditional craft of idol-making

With their hands covered in clay, the young participants carefully moulded the material into different forms of Lord Ganesha, creating their own idols from scratch

Parents also joined in by encouraging the children throughout the workshop

Their support helped create a cheerful and engaging atmosphere as the youngsters experimented with clay and worked on their idols

For many participants, the workshop offered a chance to enjoy a creative activity while connecting with the traditions associated with Ganesh celebrations

The use of clay for making Ganesha idols also introduced children to a more environmentally conscious approach to festival celebrations
