Ganesh idol immersion

Ganesh idol immersion is a significant ritual in Hindu festivals, particularly during Ganesh Chaturthi. Devotees install beautifully crafted idols of Lord Ganesha in their homes or public places for worship. After days of prayers and celebrations, the idols are taken in a procession to a nearby water body—like a river, lake, or sea—for immersion. This symbolizes the return of Ganesha to his heavenly abode, carrying with him the devotees' prayers and hopes. The immersion also represents the cycle of creation and dissolution, emphasizing the temporary nature of life and the importance of renewal.
