Agra, Nov. 8 -- An appeal has been made not to dispose of old idols of deities Laxmi and Ganesh, replaced on occasion of Diwali, in a casual manner after the festival gets over. An organisation has come forward to collect these idols from 101 assigned locations in the city and immerse them in the Yamuna with full respect. Members of the organisation met on Saturday and decided to continue with the initiative that began a couple of years ago. This year too, 101 locations are to be identified all over the city and Agra citizens will be asked to bring the old idols and leave them at these spots from where they will be collected, said Sunil Dubey, the convenor for the initiative. "These idols collected from 101 different locations in Agra city will be brought to the banks of the Yamuna where they will be respectfully immersed in 'kund' (pool) amidst chanting of hymns," said Dubey, while seeking active participation from residents. "It is really painful to see old idols of deities Laxmi and Ganesh placed at odd places including locations under trees, alongside walls, parks etc and are often found disfigured after a few days. Religious sentiments are hurt and thus we thought of the idea," said Dubey....
