Another guest post from !animals@lemmy.world as I slowly make my way through the archives...

This is a 25-foot statue of the Hindu deity Ganesha, meticulously crafted entirely out of green bananas. Created by the Natraj Club in Sambalpur, Odisha, India, the sculpture utilized over 5 tons of bananas. The banana sculpture is designed to be eco-friendly, with the fruit distributed to devotees and the needy after the festival concludes. --courtesy of the Evil Empire

And remember-- next time you take a photo of something to be shared on the internet, place a Banana-Ganesha next to it to help add scale. :D

I've always wanted to try out henna, but I don't have the talent to actually do them on myself. Would be a very cool way of testing out a tattoo before commiting!

Here's my Ganapati tattoo. It's just above my knee, so it's longer or shorter depending on if I straighten my like. My baby nephew loves to play "big Ganesha, little Ganesha" by making me slow motion kick my leg out so he can watch Ganesha flex haha
