Significance:
People bring an idol of Lord Ganesh to their home and worship it during the festival. On Ganesh Chaturthi, Lord Ganesh is worshipped as the god of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune. When the festival is over, the idol is immersed in a water body with a lot of fanfare. The immersion signals the return of Lord Ganesh to his abode after staying with his devotees for 10 days.
Anant Chaturdashi and Ganesh Visarjan:
The farewell day for the Lord Ganesh is known as ‘Anant Chaturdashi’ or 'Ganesh Visarjan'. Ganeshotsav is celebrated with full enthusiasm throughout India. But the saddest part of the festival is the Ganesh Visarjan (immersion) – the time to bid goodbye to our beloved Bappa. The festival is concluded with a huge procession followed by drum beats, devotional songs, dance, and joy by immersing the idols in the local water bodies like rivers, seas, etc.
