Process of Making PoP Idols
Casting
When the clay was used for idol making, it was environmentally less harmful than PoP. It is a white powder used for casting idols. A proper mixture of PoP is prepared and poured in mould to shape the idol, and natural fiber (Katha) is used for adding strength to the substance. The body of the mould is rubber which is kept inside the original mould. Once set, the idol is removed from mould, and is painted with white primer to paint.
