About Ganesh Visarjan

Ganesh Visarjan marks the conclusion of the ten-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival. It involves the immersion of Ganesha idols in water bodies, symbolising the deity's return to his cosmic form.

Grand processions are organised across Andhra Pradesh, with devotees dancing, singing devotional songs, and carrying the idols to rivers and water bodies for immersion.

The immersion is accompanied by chants of 'Ganpati Bappa Morya, Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya!' (O Lord Ganesha, come back soon next year!). The festival bids farewell to Ganesha with great devotion.

Ganesh Visarjan is celebrated on the last day of the ten-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival. Some families perform immersion on the 1.5, 3, 5, 7, or 10th day.
