With hardly a month-and-a-half left for Lord Ganpati’s arrival, sculptors in the city are working round the clock. The government, in a bid to promote eco-friendly celebrations, has set the idol makers a target of selling one-lakh eco-friendly idols this year. The sculptors, however, have asked for its help to achieve this target.

Art for earth’s sake: Sculptors who make eco-friendly idols often complain about the unavailability of space and capital in their business. Making a single two-foot high eco-friendly idol takes about five days, as they are completely handmade and no readymade moulds are used. File pic
