Rain dampens Ganesh visarjan
6:46 PM Posted by ukmad
The Ganesh Visarjan (idol immersion) of the sarvajanik mandals began on time but rain dampened everything. Heavy showers are still pouring down and turnout to see the procession is very less or the least I have seen until date. Untill 6.05 pm only 7 Ganesh Mandals had started from Hutatma Chowk.
Even tough in the rains the few mandals who made it into the procession had the youth with full of energy and the sounds of the drums, dhols and tasahs were echoing all round. Police were seen all over and this time they out numbered the lookers on.
As the evening goes by increasingly, mandals will join in and if the rain continues, then the usual festivities wont are seen.

The Ganesh Visarjan procession is said to begin at 2 pm (might begin after 4pm) from Hutatama Chowk and reach Kapileshwar via Ramdev Galli, Samadevi Galli, Ramling Khind Galli & Tahshildar Galli.
The police are on high alert and about 100 hidden cameras have been installed to record the procession. The first Sarvajanik Ganesh idol of Sanyukta Maharashtra Chowk is already at Hutatma Chowk n the wee hours of the morning only. Others will join the procession during the day.
The procession is expected to finish by tomorrow morning. Two cranes have been installed at Kapileshwar for easy immersion of big idols.
