By Dheeshma Published on 12 Sep 2019 1:43 PM GMTHyderabad: Singer and social activist Sanghamitra Malik on Thursday took it to twitter urging the Hyderabad city to show a way to rest of the country by doing away with large sized Ganesha idols.
A small ballad in praise of Ganesha written by the singer was also uploaded along with her post.
Through her poem Ms Malik tries to say how making a few small idols will be wise and why Ganesha idols should stay short.
āThe people of our city have to show d way to the rest of the country by doing away with large sized POP idols & completely turn to small sized clay idols only. All idols should be less than 3'. 1' or 2' should be fine & in clay. The Khairatabad Bada Ganesh only 5ā!ā the singer tweeted.

Also, an environmental activist who have been living in the city for more than 5 decades, Ms malik is vocal about the need for preservation of water bodies and positive developmental changes in Hyderabad.
Ms Malika writes,
Ganapati Bappa! But whoās that?
The Elephant God, whoās somewhat fat!
But, he is not tall, you see,
Of medium height, just let him be.
