Lord Ganesh idols are usually made of Plaster of Paris, which does not dissolve in water easliy. The day after immersion on beaches, these idols are forced back to the shores by the flowing water. This is not a pleasant sight to watch. The volunteers undertake the re-immersion of these idols in deeper water with the help of boats.
