Posted by Veerendra (Pune, India) on 25 September 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Immersion ceremony procession started today on 11 am. IST. It will now continue till next dawn and will end totally ganeshotsav of this year allover India.
This procession includes many interesting and colorfully decorated scenes. People dance, Play Dhols & Tasha unitedly, fly and dance with flags, Play lezim and tipari, some mandals use gulal to color this festival, fire crackers and draw rangolies on road and much more things which creates great atmosphere. People request to their god "Ganapati bappa moraya, Pudhachya warshi lavakar ya ! "
which means "oh god, please comeback early.. next year " [ People believe that Lord ganesha enters bringing happiness, richness in their life so they request him to come again early as possible.]

Most travelers from outside of India and indian travelers too plan their visit to attend this occasion.
