The festival of Anant Chaturdashi is being celebrated on Thursday with Ganesh Visarjan where devotees immerse the idol of Lord Ganesha in water. The festival marks the culmination of the ten-day-long Ganesh Utsav during which devotees worship Lord Ganesha with devotion.
On the last day, they perform rituals and take the idol to a nearby pond, river, or sea for immersion. The festival holds significance as devotees say goodbye to Lord Ganesha and pray for his return the following year. Various rituals including puja, aarti, and processions are carried out during the festival.
