Ganesh Chaturthi 2025: Lord Ganesha’s Grand Festival Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated all over India, especially with great dedication and joy in Maharashtra. The festival begins with the installation of the idol of Lord Ganesha and ends with Visarajan (immersion of the idol), which can be on different days such as 1.5 days, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days and at the end Anant Chaturdashi (10th/11th day).
While Anant Chatradashi is considered the most important day for immersion, many families performed Visarjan on the third day with similar devotion and reverence. It is believed that the performance of Ganesh immersion in the days of odd numbers like 3, 5th or 7th day holds spiritual significance, as it is a symbol of auspicious start and blessings.

Rituals of Ganesh Visarajan on the third day

On Visarajan Day, devotees get up early, clean their homes and altars, and perform Ganesh worship with flowers, fruits, coconut and sweets (especially modak, Ganesh’s favorite). Special prayers and aarti are offered before bidding farewell.
2. North worship (farewell ritual)
Before taking the idol for immersion, devotees worship north, a ritual where Lord Ganesha is requested to return to his heavenly residence. This indicates gratitude for their appearance at home for three days.
3. Harshit procession and bhajan
The idol is taken in a colorful procession with the mantras of “Ganapati Bappa Morya, Pudchaya Varashi Lavkar Yes” (come soon next year, Lord Ganesha). The atmosphere is full of music, dance and devotion because families and communities are included.
4. Idol immersion (immersion)
Finally, the idol sinks into a water body–the ponds of the sea, lake, or environment-friendly ponds-while praying for prosperity, knowledge and peace. Environmentally friendly idols are highly recommended to protect the environment.
