STORYLINE:
Tens of thousands of devotees gathered in Mumbai on Tuesday to bid farewell to the Hindu god Ganesha after a ten-day festival celebrating his birth.
Ganesha idols, decorated with garlands of marigolds and roses, were paraded through the streets before the immersion ritual.
Devotees then followed a procession to a nearby beach where the idols were ceremonially immersed in the sea.
The act symbolizes the elephant-headed god returning to his heavenly abode after being made aware of people’s wishes.
During the festival, which started Sept. 7 this year, millions of devotees all over India celebrate the birth of Ganesha, one of the most worshipped gods in Hinduism, by immersing idols of him, big and small, in ponds, rivers and the sea.
But the festival finds its most fervent followers in Mumbai, a major coastal metropolis and business center in western India.
