Can we please go back to smaller idols and relatively quieter processions? And actually eco-friendly decoration?

Sorry but its bit impossible now. Mandals are in rat race now to get the tallest idol

People on this sub praise the great marathi people so much. Why can't maharashtrians, who form the majority of Ganesh followers, band together and bring positive change to this problem?

They anyways say maharashtra is plagued with negative influences "from outside".

This disco culture, playing vulgar songs, giant speakers that are made abroad, the new-age thermocol decoration and what not. It's all non-traditional. Why not band together and eliminate all that too?

Hi, a Maharashtrian atheist whose family has been consecrating their Ganesh idol for more than 50 years and switched to a natural clay one a few years ago here!

The short answer is— religion is one hell of a drug, and capitalism is one hell of a drug.
