Ganpati Bappa Morya
When selecting a Ganpati Bappa murti (idol) for Ganesh Chaturthi or personal devotion, several details are important to consider:
1. Size & Shape
Idols can range from small ones for home worship to large ones for public celebrations.
Traditionally, the murti's height should suit your space and the setting for worship.
2. Material
Clay (Shadu): Environmentally friendly and ideal for immersion (visarjan).
Plaster of Paris (POP): More affordable but not eco-friendly.
Metal, Marble, or Wood: Often used for permanent installations at homes or temples.
3. Design & Posture
Sitting (Lalitasana): Most common for home worship; symbolizes calm and blessings.
Standing (Abhanga): Represents strength and energy, suitable for public pandals.
Dancing: Depicts joy and celebration.
4. Colors
Traditional idols are often painted in vibrant colors like red, yellow, and green, symbolizing prosperity and positivity. Some prefer natural clay without paint for eco-friendly reasons.
5. Facial Features
The expression of the deity is crucial. A serene and benevolent face is considered ideal for invoking positive energy and blessings.
6. Accessories
Many Ganesh idols are adorned with decorative items like a crown (mukut), garlands, and various jewelry, symbolizing his royal status as the remover of obstacles.
7. Eco-Friendly Idols
Nowadays, there is a strong emphasis on buying biodegradable and eco-friendly Ganpati idols made from natural clay and vegetable dyes to reduce environmental pollution.
These are key aspects to consider when purchasing a Ganpati Bappa murti, ensuring it fits the occasion and reflects the spiritual significance.
