Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Devotees bid a grand and heartwarming farewell to Ganapati Bappa, with a promise of meeting him soon, on the occasion of Anant Chaturdashi.
The farewell ceremony started with a special pooja and aarti, Ganpati’s favourite sweets for the auspicious bhog brought by his devotees, Dhol-Taashe and his people dancing on their beats, and finally, the emotional visarjan (immersion) of the idol with chants of ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya.’
The immersion of Ganesh idols began at 6 major ghats in Bhopal from Saturday morning itself. Large idols were immersed with the help of cranes, while smaller ones were placed into specially prepared tanks.
Across the city, 33 such tanks and stalls were set up where devotees bid farewell to Lord Ganesha with drums and celebrations.
The immersion process will continue late into the night. To ensure safety, CCTV cameras, divers, and police personnel have been deployed round the clock.
