Ganesh Chaturthi or Vinayakar Chaturthi is one of the important Hindu festivals celebrated throughout India. On this day peoples buy idols of Lord Ganesha, freshly made up of clay on that day early in the morning.

Back at home Lord Ganesha was decorated with flowers and worshiped. The duration of this festival varies from 1 day to 11 days, depending on the place and tradition.

Either on the same day evening or on the last day of the festival the idols were taken out and immersed traditionally in water (Sea, Lake, River,Well, Pond).
