92.7 BIG FM’s BIG Green Ganesha is back in its 7th successful year!

92.7 BIG FM’s mega successful green campaign - BIG Green Ganesha enters its seventh year! With a vision, a thought for a better eco-friendly future was laid down in 2008 and the campaign was created.  BIG Green Ganesha aims at creating social consciousness towards making one of India’s largest and most popular festivals more ecologically sound and has so far touched over millions of Indians.

With a massive on-ground newspaper collection drive in 15 major cities across India, tons of newspapers collected from residential areas, celebrity houses, offices, shops and other commercial establishments was supplied to renowned sculptors to transform them into artistic and beautiful Ganesha idols through paper mache and clay. 

In Chennai, the campaign was kick-started by Director Aishwarya Danush, Cinematographer Velraj and Actor Gautham Karthik, handing over old newspapers to BIG FM’s RJ GiriGiri and Ananthi to create the BIG Green Ganesha idol. The Green Ganesha idol was then placed at Vijaya Forum Mall Vadaplanani, Chennai today for public view.

Gracing the occasion Salim movie crew members Vijay Antony, Aksha Pardasany, Azam Sheriff, R. N. R. Manohar and Premgi Amaren performed Pooja for Green Ganesha. Hundreds of visitors were blessed by Green Ganesha.
