Adverse effect, Idol Immersion, Materials, Parameters
Water bodies are the biological wealth to mankind so its duty of all humans to maintain its quality. Various festivals religious rituals that are foremost in India have much importance of rivers. In accordance to this there is decrease in water quality and the water bodies are loaded with toxic materials and chemicals due to idol immersions. This paper gives clear idea about the various materials that are used in forming of Idols and the negative impact caused due to these materials on the human and aquatic life. The major parameter that are affected severely due to idol immersion are also listed. Sustainable management must be carried out by the cooperation of Government Authority as well as citizens.
