Riddhi Siddhi Mandal, based in JB Nagar, Andheri (E), in its 49th year, decided to spread awareness about ‘Mental Health’ this Ganesh Utsav. This interesting 15-minute live drama ‘Jeeyo Jee Bhar Ke’ showcases how mental health takes a toll on people and how changes can be made in their lives to manage it better. This skit is a black comedy that presents the importance of mental health and managing daily situations.
Mental health harms not only the individual but also their family, professional life, and society. Over the past decades, the Mandal has been taking up various social issues such as women's empowerment, the importance of family bonding, politicians’ party-hopping trend, the collapsing city infrastructure, supporting transgenders, verifying fake news, etc. through live drama skits.
The Mandal’s Ganesh Murti is also made of environmentally friendly and natural components.
