Nice Clay Ganesha Idols



Below are a series of photographs of more eco-friendly mud Ganeshas, which are safer and more environmentally friendly. However these type of mud statues should be purchased without the gold paint, glitter or piercing eyes! Craftspeople creating ecofriendly mud Ganeshas are all around Tiruvannamalai, the below photographs were taken off the Chengham Road, opposite both Seshadri and Ramana Ashrams. 

Householders brought their own small kolam adorned benches with them in order to welcome their completed Ganesha idols.

I don't think many people will help you purchase your own mould . . . as it will cut into their business. They may even think that you are competition. Ganesha Chaturthi is coming very soon, so I would suggest you go to one of the street sellers and ask them if they would be willing to sell you a mould or tell you how to get one.
