I'm an atheist so here's the most important thing; These statutes are the BEST micro-habitat for endangered marine life on the beach. Fired clay and concrete don't leech anything harmful into the water.
They provide a hard surface that sits above the sediment. Coral can actually grow on it without being choked by human waste.
And since they actually last long enough for the coral to mature, they provide multi-generational homes for coral.
The coral spawn provides plankton for whales, crabs, mussels, prawns. Those provide food for everyone. Regardless of race language or religion.
This is the closest thing to divinity I can think of right now. And with Singapore planning to tax everyone and fund the destruction of most of the southern reefs, perhaps Ganesha is reminding everyone that power is worthless when not guided by wisdom.
Whichever racists are complaining about this practice need to either study religion, pick up an ecology textbook or shut the f**k up!
