Thousands of people lined the streets of Pune, Maharashtra`s second largest city, to see immersion processions of the five `manache` (eminent and revered) Ganpati idols and those from other prominent mandals (organising committees) on the occasion of Anant Chaturdashi on Friday. These five `manache` Ganpati idols are from Kasba, Tambdi Jogeshwari, Guruji Talim, Tukshibaug and Kesariwada, all of which were immersed with great fanfare by 8 pm after being taken through Laxmi Road, local officials said.
Elaborate security arrangements were in place for the immersion of other Ganpati idols, mainly the ones from the Shrimant Dagadushet Ganesh Mandal, the Bhau Rangari Mandal and Akhil Mandai Ganesh Mandal. The immersion process of these idols is expected to be completed only by Saturday morning, officials added. The festival this year was celebrated with traditional fervour amid massive crowds as all COVID-19 pandemic norms had been withdrawn.
