Vasco: Dedification with cause, that’s what Shivani rises Ganesha Idol around this year.
The 10kg chocolate idol made by the 28-year-old is currently displayed at Vasco’s 1930 Mall.
At the end of the chaturti celebration, the idol will be immersed in 30 liters of milk which will then be distributed to those in need and poor, especially children.
Inspired to make chocolate idols back in 2018, rising say various obstacles prevent it to act to act.
“The idea was taken from Ranu Rathod, a Mumbai resident, who was the inventor of Chocolate Ganpati Idol.
I also want to celebrate the festival on the grounds and make it environmentally friendly,” he said.
Finally, this year, he decided to try it.
It took a total of 10 days to prepare an idol.
Paying attention to weather conditions and changes in temperature, he must ensure that it works in the appropriate condition to ensure that chocolate does not melt or sweat.
When riding distributing his idea with a cultural group, he was part of Aaghaz, his colleagues voluntarily sponsoring his business.
A friend gave the chocolate needed while the others convinced breast milk to immerse idols.
The milk brand also declares willingness to sponsor the amount of milk needed.
“All expenses come almost Rs 7,000,” said rising.
