Re-immersion Seva

Re-immersion Seva at Juhu

               In Mumbai the Ganesh Chaturthi festival is specially celebrated in a grand manner across the length and breadth as well as the state of Maharashtra. The huge idols of Shri Ganesh were taken in grand processions mounted on trucks which were taken up to the beaches such as Girgaum Chowpatty,Mahim, Juhu and Versova for visarjan.

          Many lord ganesh idols are usually made of plaster of Paris and, therefore, take a long time to completely dissolve in water. Consequently, these idols are washed back to the shore, which is certainly not at all pleasant sight to behold the day after the immersion.

           Shree Aniruddha Upasana Foundation, alongwith the Aniruddha Samarpan Pathak volunteers of its sister organization,& Aniruddha Academay of disaster management’s DMV, undertake the re-immersion of such undissolve idols in the deeper waters with the help of boats every year. 

               The beaches are also fully cleaned and spruced up with infrastructural support from the Municipal authorities by way of garbage vans, equipments, etc.by all volunteers at juhu, mahim ,varsova ,Girgaum Chowpatty on the day after the immersion.
