In a press release, Collector Sravan Kumar Jatavath said that idols made of eco-friendly materials like ‘kizhangu flour’, sago waste and those without chemicals and chemical paint will alone be allowed for immersion.. Idols made with baked clay are not allowed to be immersed in waterbodies.

The district administration has permitted immersion of idols at Arakandanallur tank, Sankarapuram tank, Ulundurpet tank, Thirunavalur tank and Gomukhi dam.
