At the end of the Ganesha festival the Ganesha idols are immersed in ponds, lakes, wells, rivers or the sea. Mumbai being a coastal area, the sea is preferred for immersion. Idols as huge as 20plus feet are brought for immersion along with thousands of tiny ones. In the picture above, the sand on the beach is flattened to enable facilitate the smooth trasnsfer of the idol from land to sea. This beach is in Dadar or closer to Shivaji Park in Mumbai.
