A big THANK YOU to the Mumbai Police, the huge army of volunteers, the BMC cleaners, student clean up gangs and the people of Mumbai for ensuring a safe and peaceful Ganesh festival.
While we all enjoyed the carnival atmosphere and the sight of the huge Ganesh idols proceeding for immersion, let us remember that immersion is environmentally unfriendly, indeed highly polluting our seas and water bodies. Let us move to symbolic immersion before it is too late and we destroy our seas forever.
Ananta Chaturdashi - Final Immersion Day @ Girgaum Chowpatty
Open mouthed, wide eyed ... and just plain having fun !!!

A big THANK YOU to the MUMBAI POLICE and the Volunteers for exemplary crowd management ... and believe me it was crowded on Sunday. A big THANK YOU as well to the BMC CLEANERS and Volunteer Clean Up gangs (mostly students) who tidied the beach the next morning even as the last few big Ganapatis were being pushed out to sea.
Thanks also to the people of Mumbai who enjoyed the festival in a peaceful manner. No instances of misbehaviour were reported in such huge crowds which in itself is commendable.
While we all enjoyed the spectacle of the huge Ganpati floats and the carnival atmosphere, let us not forget that IMMERSION is highly polluting and we are destroying our seas and water bodies with this practice, which dear Ganesha would most certainly not want.
The Ganesh festival should move to the practice of symbolic immersion of small permanent idols.
Walking around there was a feeling of extreme crowd control and social engineering. I think I'll stay home with my Fear and Sanity

Ananta Chaturdashi - Final Immersion Day @ Girgaum Chowpatty. Everyone turns up to watch the procession of huge idols on their way for visarjan. These baby idols had a sweet charm and held their own amidst the giants.
