Ganesh festival, visarjan day in Vashi, Navi Mumbai 2014

 

Vinayaka Chaturthi or Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations end with the Visarjan (immersion ) of clay Ganapati idol in sea. In Mumbai, it’s a day of long processions filled with pomp and splendour when the Ganesh idols are immersed in the sea there. I walk through the streets of Vashi in Navi Mumbai watching Ganpati immersion procession. Chants of  Ganpati Bappa Morya......... Mangal Murthy Morya .... reverberated through the air. 

The streets are filled with loud music, drumming, dancing, and fire crackers.

  
The Ganesh idols come in all shapes and sizes. Each one tells a story.


The Idols taken in cars, trucks or carried in hands for the immersion.


Leading the Ganesh idol to the water.

                                          
Immersion of Ganesha idols continues late in the night. Finally He departs to His Heavenly abode...  

‘Do come back early next year!
