An owner of a bakery in Ludhiana has made chocolate Ganesha. He will immerse the idol in milk making it a chocolate milkshake. He plans to treat poor kids with this special drink.

It is a 40 kg Belgian chocolate Ganesha made by bakery owner Harjinder S Kukreja. This is a new concept o preparing eco-friendly Ganesha. Harjinder went a step ahead by not only making the idol eco-friendly, and ensuring this brings a smile to many children.

The three-feet  tall Ganesha is currently attracting a large crowd in Ludhiana, Punjab. Environmentalists have been arguing that Ganesha should not be immersed in water, rather the same idol can be used the next year. But Harjinder's Ganesha will be immersed as per traditions.
