As we know, it is everybody’s dream to keep Mumbai as eco-friendly and clean as Shanghai, but are we working towards making it possible? Nowadays efforts are being made to ban idols of deities made of P.O.P. which fail to dissolve in water and further pollute our beaches & marine life. What is the use of worshipping idols that cannot be disposed of properly? A lot of mandals make a song and dance about installing an idol but are these based on religious beliefs or they just a way to garner publicity for the sponsors? Our Navratrotsav Mandal doesn’t believe in this. Since 1934, from the times of British Rule, we have celebrated the Navratri festival with the use of a simple photo of the deity. We continued this for thirty one years. Then in 1965, one of the devotees of our mandal donated a beautiful idol, 16 inches high, pure silver and from that day onwards, every year, we establish our ‘Ambe Mata’ idol and after the end of the nine day festival we preserve it in our mandal. To satisfy some of the devotees who wished to immerse an idol of the deity, for our 50th and 70th anniversaries, we installed an eco-friendly clay idol of “Ambe Mata” and immersed the same. On our 75th anniversary we plan to install an idol made of papier-mâché and clay in keeping with our motto of not polluting the environment. We, as a very small mandal, are trying to play a part in keeping our environment intact. We would appeal to all mandals, whether for Navratri, Durga Puja or Ganesh to do their bit to keep our city pollution free and welcome the deities to a clean and green Mumbai for many years to come.
