The Immersion of Lord Ganesh



It's been quite a tight week. I should have posted this article last week Tuesday, 25th September. That was the day that thousands of idols of Lord Ganesh were immersed in various parts of Maharashtra. I took a walk towards Juhu Beach at 6 p.m. and was able to catch some pics and clips of farewell ceremony. The clip is illustrative enough: it says how many people there were and what they were doing! Returning to my apartment on SV Road at 7:15 p.m. I (and all the traffic!) was temporarily halted as a giant idol of the god was being transported in a trailer from Santa Cruz Market to the Juhu.
