GHMC, ISKCON collect over a tonne of sacred material in Project Udvasana drive

The second edition of Project Udvasana, aimed at disposal of sacred material, taken up by the GHMC in association with ISKCON, was held at Sri Hanuman Temple in Yellareddyguda, Ameerpet, on Saturday. The first drive was held last week at ISKCON temple in Banjara Hills as part of a pilot project in the city.

People thronged the temple along with bags of sacred material from 8 am onwards and up to 11 am. Some also brought



idols of different deities made of ‘Plaster of Paris’ (PoP) and handed them over to the organisers.

The drive collectively collected over a ton of sacred items, including framed photographs of deities, PoP idols, and idols made from wood and plastic. It also brought in wall calendars and table calendars featuring deities, spiritual books, and other sacred material, indicating substantial public involvement and support.
