Ganesha (visarjan)
Ganesha Visarjan is a traditional Hindu festival celebrating the deity Ganesha, symbolizing the removal of obstacles and new beginnings. During this festival, devotees worship Ganesha with prayers, rituals, and offerings, welcoming his blessings. On the final day, known as Visarjan, intricately crafted Ganesha idols are immersed in water—rivers, lakes, or oceans—signifying the deity's return to his divine realm. This ritual emphasizes the cycle of creation and dissolution, reinforcing the belief in life's transient nature and encouraging devotees to let go of attachments, while celebrating community, devotion, and renewal.
