JOIN USAs part of an eco-friendly Ganesha festival, Karnataka State Pollution Control Board has launched a turmeric Ganesha campaign across the state.
The KSPCB has requested the people to step forward and contribute towards making the campaign find a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
School, college students and citizens may take part in the campaign, said KSPCB environment officer G R Ganeshan.
He said that the board has set a target of 10 lakh turmeric Ganesha idols, to set the world record.
After preparing turmeric Ganesha at home and offering prayers, the idol will be immersed in a bucket filled with water.
Teachers should create awareness among students in this regard, said Ganeshan.

The photo should be uploaded before September 10, said Rashtriya Hasiru Pade district nodal officer and turmeric Ganesha campaign convener T G Premkumar.
