With Ganesh Chaturthi commencing September 2 onwards, the city has been engulfed by devotees engaging in celebrating the arrival of their beloved Bappa. On the other hand, the devotees who bring Ganpati Bappa home will be conducting Ganpati Visarjan today, i.e. immersion of Ganesh idols, at sea/creeks.
Accordingly, in order to ensure the devotees' safety, Mumbai Police tweeted a photo that displayed the high tide timings for the days designated for Ganpati Visarjan. Alongside, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has created artificial ponds which will serve as immersion sites for small Ganpatis.
