How can you not love that face?

The festival ends on the tenth day after start, when the idol is carried in a public procession with music and group chanting, then immersed in a nearby body of water such as a river or sea, called visarjan. In Mumbai alone, around 150,000 statues are immersed annually.

I thought that bit was cool.

Ganesh Chaturthi - Wikipedia

It is. You can also get your own Ganesh idol at your local Indian grocery and celebrate in your home (albeit on a somewhat smaller scale).

Ganesh rides on our dash!

And on my monitor...

I’m IT’ing at my sister’s biz in NYC today and I see her partner has Ganesh watching over her desk

Is that prosecco cologne? lol

Her partner has several Hindu things going on there

Kali Ma! That is some fierce energy.

We all need a little Kali from time to time

Thanks! I still have Netflix, so I'll check it out.

Your sister is lucky you can do that for her!
