Culminating the 11-day long celebrations of Ganeshotsav, it’s time to bid farewell to our favourite God - Lord Ganesha idols today.
It seems like just yesterday, when we were celebrating the arrival of Ganesh Chaturthi with pomp and festive. However, it’s already time to bid goodbye. Hoards of dedicated devotees are set to march out of their homes and proceed for the annual tradition of immersion. Ganpati visarjan envelopes the city in a state of grand celebration.
The day of Ganesh Visarjan is celebrated on a very large scale, especially by Maharashtrians. However, it has now become a worldwide festival. Its glory is so magnificent that everybody wants to be the part of this festival.
On this energetic day, when everyone is in excitement of the preparations made for this grand festival, various unique events like musical events, dance shows, etc. are also organized to fill the zest into the deepest core of everyone.
Among all these exciting things, there is something about this festival that is not very good for us. It is the environmental pollution.
The main things that is to be concerned about is the idol of Lord Ganesha. In old days, idols were made up of clay, but now they are formed with plaster of paris. When the idol is immersed in a water body, it pollutes the water. Hence, it is always great to worship Ganesha in the form of clay idol.
Significance Of Anant Chaturdashi
On this very day, certain communities celebrate Anant Chaturdashi. The day of Ananta Chaturdashi is of high significance for Jains and Hindus. When most of the country bids adieu to Ganesha, some of them also worship Vishnu, the preserver of this universe. Ananta and Ananta Padmanabha are other names for Vishnu. Hence, the day is popular as Ananta Chaturdashi.
On this day, devotees of Vishnu observe a fast with a vow to Vishnu that they will cherish wealth and prosperity for the next fourteen years.
We hope that you will get the best out of Ganesha’s blessings.
Worship the Almighty with full faith and be blessed!!
