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.

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
The parade of giant Ganeshas and the huge crowds that accompany them are a sight to behold. The atmosphere is electric with a huge sense of gaiety and fun. Unlikely as it may seem, the crowds are not rowdy and it is perfectly safe for families and ladies to come out and watch the festivities.
Credit to the Mumbai Police, the Home Guards and the very many volunteers who help manage the crowds. They did a splendid job.
Ananta Chaturdashi - Final Immersion Day @ Girgaum Chowpatty This young girl was a volunteer. She did a great job with crowd management, with a big smile always!
Walking around there was a feeling of extreme crowd control and social engineering. I think I'll stay home with my Fear and Sanity

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.

The queue of people waiting to get on tubes at Mile End Tube Station extended from the station all the way back to Southern Grove. A queue several people deep was lined up outside the flats - and people trying to sleep - in Butternere House
