The Lalbaugcha Raja Ganesh visarjan procession has begun from Lalbaug Market. It will pass through the mandals main entrance, Bharat Ratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Road, Bharatmata Cinema and Lalbaug Police Chowky before returning to the main entrance. From there, the procession will move towards the Mumbai Municipal Corporation reception desk at Chowpatty before reaching the Lalbaugcha Raja immersion raft. The immersion of the idol is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning. Until then, devotees will continue to take part in the procession. Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations begin with the installation of Lord Ganesha idols, followed by prayers and gatherings. The festival ends with Ganesh Visarjan, when devotees bid farewell to Lord Ganesha and the idols are immersed in water. Across Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra, large numbers of devotees take part in visarjan processions on the final day of the festival. People gather at different immersion points to offer prayers and witness the rituals. (ANI)
