Ganesh Mitra Mandal. Made from approximately 40k to 50k rectangle papers using unique concept of Origami and Quilling art. The paper is folded in such a manner that the idol holds itself together without any use of gum. It took around 21 days to make this idol.They even kept a big hoarding to show the process of how the idol was made from scratch. It was very informative.

Location – Raipada, Malad.

The eight-feet tall Ganpati idol at the Raipada Mitra Mandal in Malad has kept up with the eco-friendly celebrations in the city this year by creating the idol with rope. In the last two years the mandal has been making eco-friendly Ganpatis of bamboo and paper cups.

A 1,000-metre long rope was used along with grass, wooden frames and cotton cloth pieces to support the idol. It took nearly a month to make the idol.

The mandal spent around Rs 55,000 for the idol. A similar idol in plaster of Paris would have cost up to Rs 30,000.

Location – Raipada, Malad.

Sham Nirmal Mitra Mandal, fast food ganpati. Idols is made with pastas and nachos.
