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.
Thank you so much for the on-going coverage of this festival. It's so lovely to see, and it's wonderful to share even the tinest moment of something I would otherwise have to knowledge of or access to; it really does feel like one world!
ReplyDeleteAlways marveled at the immersion...it must be a really devine work.
ReplyDeletenice night shot!
Beautiful. All the images give the perfect idea even if the reader doesn't know anything about Visarjan.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you covered it.
As a mom of a three year old, I have many limitations as towhere I can go clicking with my preschooler, and without him, leaving him behind with hubby/mom.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful coverage of the festival!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a colorful happening and your photos are nice. Even the one taken off the television.
ReplyDeleteI published a post about squirrels and other animals and some of the problems they have. I hope you can take the time to read it. That animals suffer and we do not seem to notice seems so sad. Look at my Dances on Sunshine
