Sagar Scientist's 4-Year Research Uncovers New Eco-Friendly Idol Immersion Method

• Prof. Ragini Gothalwal of Barkatullah University developed a biological method to prevent water pollution from idol immersion.
• The method uses naturally occurring microorganisms in ponds/rivers to consume and eliminate pollutants from idols.
• This technique effectively breaks down materials like plaster of Paris, paint, plastic, and bamboo, ensuring better water quality.
• Unlike physical/chemical methods, biological techniques avoid secondary pollution, making them a sustainable solution.
• The 4-year research confirms the method's efficacy in restoring water quality after idol immersion, safeguarding aquatic life.
