Mundrika Foundation’s innovative tradition enters its fifth year with a strong message of linguistic unity
Mundrika Foundation and Rubrics Academy unveiled their unique eco-friendly Ganesh idol for this year’s Ganeshotsav. Crafted from wooden and coconut-shell buttons, the idol symbolizes sustainability while spreading a powerful message of linguistic unity.
Fifth Year of Innovation
This marks the fifth year of the Academy’s tradition of innovative idols. In previous years, students created idols using clay, coins, pencil shavings, and thread. The 2025 idol, made of buttons, was completed after two weeks of dedicated effort by the students.
The idol-making was carried out under the guidance of Miss Rishu Mishra, with students Shivam Jha, Vivek Jha, Kunal Agre, Tilak Jha, Vishal Chaudhary, Kishan Thakur, Aman Mandal, and Harsh Singh, who worked tirelessly day and night to bring the creation to life.
A Message of Unity
Mundrika Foundation Director Prathmesh Jha said: “Just as buttons bring together different pieces to complete a garment, languages bind India’s diverse cultural fabric into one. Every language is a symbol of identity and pride, and by respecting each one, we strengthen our unity and pave the way for India to emerge as a true Vishwaguru.”
Street Play
The unveiling ceremony took place at the Rubriks Academy campus, where the idol will remain for five days.
