We see Ganesha idols in every street during Ganesh Chaturthi almost in every part of India. It’s indeed one of the festivals in India which unites entire country where each individual mingles with others irrespective of caste and creed and celebrates the festival for 9 days. At the end of the festival, as part of the ritual, Ganesh idol will be taken to procession and immersed in water by large group of people.
