2004 Photographs of the Vinaayaka Chaturthi idols
September, 2004
During
Vinayaka Chaturthi, small clay idols of Ganesha are made specially for
the festival. Devotees offer pooja to the idol at home and immerse
it in water after 3 days or one week.
Apart from these idols
for home worship, huge idols are created, also out of clay, beautifully
decorated and displayed in the street. On a day fixed by the Govt.,
the devotees assemble at the beach in a procession and immerse the huge
Ganesha idols. Depending on the size, the idols are brought to the beach
in cycles, rickshaws, vans or lorries. The idols are taken to deeper
waters in catamarans and immersed. The medium sized idols are carried
by hand and the larger ones are lifted by crane to the catamarans.
