Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the largest festivals in India. The festival finishes with Ganesh Visarjan, which is the immersion of Lord Ganesha’s Idol in water. This is our farewell to Bappa with love, devotion, and expectation. We convey a belief that He will go back to Mount Kailash, having removed obstacles, and left all the families he visits with blessings.

🌸 Story Behind Ganesh Visarjan

Divine Return to Kailash
The belief is he stays with us at Ganesh Chaturthi, only to return to his parents Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati at Mount Kailash.

Symbol of Creation/Destruction
The submergence of clay idols into water symbolizes life’s eternal truth – everything that is born must eventually dissolve and return into the universe.

Blessings of Renewal
By honoring Ganesha with devotion, devotees believe that He takes away their misfortunes and obstacles and offers the devotee blessings of wisdom, prosperity and harmony.

🙏 How to Perform Ganesh Visarjan

Visarjan is performed with devotion, rituals, and festivity.

Morning Puja
Greet the Lord with flowers, sweets (especially Modaks), fruits, and perform aarti at the beginning of the visarjan procession.

Departure Rituals
Apply tilak, offer garlands, and chant mantras, like “Ganpati Bappa Morya, Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya or ओ गणपति बप्पा मोरया, पुडच्या वर्षी लवकर या (O Lord Ganesha, come soon next year).

Visarjan Procession
With music, dancing and rejoicing devotees carry the idol to the immersion site (river, lake, sea, or a local artificial pond).

Eco-Friendly Visarjan

Choose idols made from clay and eco-friendly material.

Use natural flowers and bio-degradable items for puja.

Avoid plastics, thermocol, and chemical colors to protect water bodies.

Immersion
Before the idol goes into water, pray for removal of obstacles and seek blessings. Submerge the idol slowly intothe water and chant Ganesha mantras.

🌟 Importance of Ganesh Visarjan

Ganesh Visarjan teaches us release, humbleness, and rebirth. It gives us the understanding to reflect on:

All things in our lives are temporary, divine blessings are eternal.

By letting go of the old things we allow new things to enter.

✨ Conclusion

Ganesh Visarjan 2025 is not only a grand farewell to Lord Ganesha but also a spiritual reminder of life’s deeper truths—detachment, renewal, and devotion. As Bappa returns to Mount Kailash, devotees send Him off with prayers, music, and heartfelt chants, believing that He carries away obstacles and leaves behind blessings of wisdom, prosperity, and peace. By embracing eco-friendly practices during visarjan, we honor both our faith and our environment, ensuring that the celebration of Bappa continues with love, purity, and respect for generations to come.
