Making Homemade Ganesh Idol(Vinayaka Vigraham)

Homemade Ganesh Murthi:

Hi Friends.
I am adding steps in the form of pictures to make homemade ganesh murthi or vinayaka vigraham for
VINAYAKA CHAVITHI.

For this you need play dough clay that you can find in many store in USA in the Arts and Crafts aisle.
Usually you get different color combo pack or a single color.Depending on your wish to use different colors
to decorate the idol you can use the dough.
Its very smooth.Take small dough at a time and make the parts first and then attach the bits with wet
hands so it sticks well.
You can decorate eyes , jewellry on the idol with glitter, fancy bindi,stickers or paint.
I am showing the basic steps for you , as the festival is in 3 days you can get the dough and try .
You can make the idol a day ahead or on the festival day too.It takes very less time around 15min.
Place it on some flat surface like a small mandap. You can also make a flat surface with play dough like
mandap and place idol on it.

First make ears,head (small ball),nose,hands, legs (make them litlle thicker than hands),Tummy part(big round ball).
Then combine each parts in places with wet hands .

 Hope you give a try to this homemade ganesh idol for this chaturthi festival .
After puja you can immerse the idol in a tub of water , it dissolves well in few hrs.
Then can water this to  tree in your backyard .
