eCoexist is happy to announce a new collaboration with our old friends, the Kalpavriksh Environment Action Group, to help promote their beautiful range of children’s books on Nature and Conservation.

At eCoexist we believe Beauty is essential part of Nature. Creativity and art are forms of Lakshmi in themselves, creating an energy of abundance and prosperity especially in products created out of waste.

Nirmalya. A word that connotes purity – it is used to describe the offerrings that are made to the diety during worship.

eCoexist has been promoting the reuse and repurposing of objects since 2010 as part of our campaign called The Beauty of Recycling.

Several years ago, eCoexist started to distribute packets of seeds with our Ganesh idols.

This issue of our newsletter is looking at the use of chemical paints in religious idols that get immersed into natural water bodies and the impact these cause on marine life.

Ganesh Chaturthi was not always a collective festival until Lokmanya Tilak made it so in an effort to assert Indias cultural independence from the British.

In India too we have traditions of such natural decorations – so why don’t we see them much in use now?
