    Hello All,

    Since Ganesh Chathurthi is round the corner (Sep 3rd), I was wondering if any of you are thinking to do the Ganesh idol at home.
    2 yrs ago we did it with plaster of paris. We have a mould so we did it but it took us some time to let it dry and color it. Last year my FIL did it with clay mud(actual clay mud). I don't know if I can do it with actual mud...So I brought the play clay dough.

    Did any of you do with clay dough? If so, can you give me some ideas of how to do it?
    If you can post some pics that will be great...

    Thanks

    Hi all,

    Greetings of the day!
    I never made Idol of Lord Ganesha with clay.
    But 2 years back I made Lord Ganesha by Tanjore Painting.
    I like Tanjore painting very much for making the picture of GOd and Goddess.Many designs are available online.

    Please share the method of Making Lord Ganesh Idol with the help of clay.I will try it.

    Thats wonderful to make Ganesha with our own hand. we will be really happy if we make Ganesha by ourselves and do pooja for the same Ganesha. I can understand thats a beautiful feeling. If you know, please share the wonderful thing. I'll also try it. Great!
