Thousands of Lord Ganesh idols were immersed in water bodies following the conclusion of Ganeshotsav in Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana on Tuesday, September 17. An estimated one lakh idols have been set up for worship this year in the city.
The Telangana government has made elaborate arrangements for the immersion of the idols. The Visarjan rally of the 70-ft-tall Ganesh statue of the famous pandal at Khairatabad has attracted major Ganesh devotees. It began on Tuesday morning, and the immersion of the giant statue in the Hussain Sagar Lake is likely to take place by noon.
