Background – Why Was the POP Ban So Controversial?

In recent years, growing environmental concerns led authorities to impose strict restrictions on **Plaster of Paris idols**, citing pollution risks. While the intention was noble, the approach created massive chaos for:

Murtikars (idol artisans) who lost their livelihoods
Ganesh mandals who were forced to compromise on tradition
Devotees who couldn’t celebrate with their traditional form of Ganpati Bappa

The court case dragged on for years, with no proper clarity. Meanwhile, lakhs of people across Maharashtra were left uncertain about their future celebrations.

But *everything changed when Hitesh Jadhav* – representing the Akhil Sarvajanik Utsav Samiti – took a bold step. He led a movement combining community strength, legal expertise, and cultural vision.

What You’ll Hear in This Podcast:

🎤 Honest confessions from the man at the center of it all
⚖️ Full legal timeline and key arguments that helped lift the ban
📢 The voice of thousands of mandals and murtikars across Maharashtra
📅 What changes now that POP idols are allowed again
🌱 How eco-consciousness and tradition can go hand-in-hand

This is *THE MOST IMPORTANT EPISODE* of TGP for every Ganpati bhakt, mandal leader, and cultural advocate.

Why This Matters:

Ganeshotsav is not just a festival – it is Maharashtra’s soul. It brings together communities, traditions, artists, emotions, and spiritual devotion. The POP ban threatened all of that.

Thanks to this landmark effort, in *2025**, Ganeshotsav will return **in full glory* – with freedom, faith, and responsibility.

This episode highlights that **when culture, law, and community unite**, miracles happen.

Who Should Watch This:

Ganesh mandals looking for clarity on POP rules
Murtikars who’ve suffered due to legal confusion
Devotees who want to know the truth behind the ban
Cultural researchers, environmental activists & policy makers
Anyone who believes in the power of *preserving tradition responsibly*
