The oldest Ganeshotsav mandal in the city, which hails from Keshavji Naik chawl in Girgaum, escorts its dear little 2.25-ft Ganpati in the traditional 'palkhi'. The procession is accompanied by dhol, lezim and saffron flags in dignified fashion. The 1893 mandal inspired by Lokmanya Tilak, does not believe in an extended yatra spanning 12-14 hours, and is usually home sooner than most.
The procession of the Lal Maidan Ganesh of Parel does last 10-12 hours for it halts at regular intervals as people arrive to offer aarti. "Although 2,000 people join the parade, we are cautious to see that nobody is drunk or engages in unruly behaviour," says spokesperson Surendra Vishwakarma.
Acharya Ravindra Nagar of New Delhi says immersion may cause devotees to experience heartbreak, but the process imparts a lesson as well. "The act of visarjan teaches you to let go of something you love deeply and have nurtured so long. Moreover, human beings are egotistical about their intellect, and visarjan teaches you to surrender to faith over intellect," he says.
People who live near prime immersion locations are also mindful of the enormous effort invested by government agencies. Residents of K N Bhatia building at Prarthana Samaj junction offer free breakfast, lunch and dinner to 2,000-odd policemen, traffic police, SRP and home guards on duty this day, says organizer Hiten Sundhani.
Large Ganpati idols that cannot be lifted are carried to the seashore atop the very mobile trolleys they were built on.The final aarti is performed on the beach before immersion.
