Trupti Gaikwad's Eco-Friendly Initiative: Turning Discarded Idols into Durable Art in Nashik

• Adv. Trupti Gaikwad from Nashik started 'Sampurnam Seva Foundation' to address water pollution caused by immersing discarded idols and photos.
• The initiative transforms broken idols, old photos, and deity clothes into beautiful, durable decorative items and useful products.
• A formal 'Uttar Puja' is performed for collected items to ensure religious sanctity before repurposing materials like metal, glass, and wood.
• Products created include benches, frames, gifts, toys from metal/glass, and blankets/covers from deity clothes.
• The project provides employment opportunities to needy individuals and promotes environmental conservation and social awareness.

Why It Matters: Trupti Gaikwad's 'Sampurnam Seva Foundation' in Nashik innovatively recycles religious discards into art, aiding environment and employment.
