Discarding of old photos of deities

Shanthi,
Since these are not compostable, the paper may end up clogging the tanks or rivers for that matter.

While it is ok to listen to what some religious leaders say on things, I feel perhaps we should also consider to think about environmental clogging of tanks/rivers. Trying to balance sentimental with practicality.

Just a thought - 2 cents :my2cents

 

thanks i was also having the same query thank u everybody

 

Pictures are just that - Pictures. Putting them especially complete with frames can pose a hazard to users of the waterways. There is no need to have any guilt in disposing of them.
The same thing applies to all the packets of manjal and kumkum (mostly store bought) that is invariably distributed at religious events.

As a seventy one year old male nasthika iyer ( nasty iyer!), my views may not be liked by all. If one feels too strongly about just getting rid of all such, one can put them all in a bag add a Rs. 1.50 dakshinai and leave it under a peepul tree may be near a temple.
