The Kadasiddeshwara Bricks and Pottery Materials Producers Cooperative Society in Konnur village of Belagavi district is a unique institution. While celebrations of Ganesh Chaturthi are coming to an end in the rest of the State, for this co-op, it is Ganesha season all year round.
The society is known for making Ganesha idols sold across several states. Members and employees work throughout the year and make around 800-1,000 idols per day. “Last year, we sold around 3.2 lakh idols, big and small,’‘ says Channabasappa Tirakannanavar, the plant supervisor.
