Visarjan (Immersion)

Thousands of Ganesh idols of various sizes are taken for immersion in huge processions with devotees dancing all along the route to the immersion point.

It is a nightmare for the traffic authorities but the Mumbai traffic police does an excellent job to ensure smooth proceedings for the devotees and the normal traffic.


I could not go to the immersion point, hence I took this picture from the TV on which the immersion was being telecast live.

Ganpati visarjan

A small Ganesh idol being taken for Visarjan (immersion). The idol is kept for a day, 3days, 5days, 7days or 10days depending on an individual's choice and financial background. The community (sarvajanik) idols are big and kept for a week to ten days. The bigger idols will be immersed on Sunday the 14sep08. Will endeavour to take pictures of that and post on monday.
