This Ganesh murti is finished with a hand-painted gold mukut. The gold mukut is the most ornate finish we make, hand-painted over natural clay for households that want the idol to be the visual centre of the mandap. Like every idol we make, it is shaped from natural clay and nothing else — no plaster of Paris, no chemical paint on the unpainted pieces, and no additive that would keep it from breaking down. That matters at visarjan: PoP idols do not dissolve, and the ones that end up in a lake or a river stay there. Clay returns to the water it came from, which is what makes an immersion at home in a bucket or a drum a real option rather than a compromise. Every idol ships with a free chouki, a mala, a 100g dhoop stick pack and a red cloth, so it is ready for sthapana the day it arrives. Celebrate the festival fully and leave nothing behind that the water has to carry.
