This innovative representation has captivated devotees of the town, drawing attention to various idol stores across the city.

The idols, crafted entirely from eco-friendly materials, reflect the growing concern for the environment among the residents of the city. The use of sustainable resources in making idols ensures that the celebrations will be in harmony with nature, reducing the adverse impact on local water bodies where the idols are traditionally immersed.
