The 10-day Ganesh Utsav celebrations concluded with the grand Ganesh Visarjan ceremony, where devotees bid farewell to Lord Ganesha. The immersion of the idols in water symbolizes the deity’s return to his celestial abode. The highlight of the festivities was the immersion of Lalbaugcha Raja, one of the most revered Ganpati idols in India.
The Muslim community in Mumbai has decided to postpone their Eid-e-Milad procession to September 18, coinciding with Anant Chaturdashi or Ganesh Visarjan, which is celebrated on September 17. This decision was made to ensure smooth celebrations for both festivals, with community leaders highlighting concerns about potential logistical challenges and security issues if the processions were held simultaneously.
