The program of bringing Bojja Ganapayya to the lap of Gangamma by celebrating the Vinayaka Chavithi festival is still going on. Ganapati Bappa Morea slogan… drum claps. Devotees are not tired even at midnight. Even in the early hours of the morning, the excitement never subsided. All the roads leading to Tankbund resemble a fair. The streets are filled with the remembrance of Ganasatha’s name.

Mumbai was once famous for Vinayaka Namajjanotsavam. But now Hyderabad has become a carafe address. Starting from Charminar till Tank Bund, Ganapayyas appeared without a gap. Even at night, the devotees were not tired. They looked as excited as they were when the procession started, till the immersion. The surroundings of Tank Bund were resounding with Kolatas and dances. No matter which way you look, you will be enchanted by Ekadantudi’s bhajans. Devotees bade farewell to Bojja Ganapayya with great devotion. On the occasion of the immersion, the Tankbund and the Secretariat were brightly lit.

The police have taken measures to prevent any untoward incident during the immersion. The traffic was cleared without causing any trouble to the processions. The immersion process was monitored by DGP Command Control Centre. In the past, once the immersion of the Mahaganapati of Khairatabad was completed, the immersion of the rest of the idols was done quickly. But this year, instead of immersing the idols near the tail ponds, they are moving them to the tank bund. The immersion will continue till noon today as pilgrims are flocking to the tankbund.
