place on the last day called Ananta Chaturdasi day.

Ganesh Chaturthi also known as Vinayak Chaturthi is celebrated as the
Birth Anniversary of Lord Ganesh, the God of Wisdom and Prosperity of
Hindu mythology. Approximately 6000 idols of Ganesh are commissioned for
Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai alone.

The idol of Ganesh is installed at homes and temples and worshipped for
ten days. The houses are cleaned up before the idol of Ganesh is
installed. The idol is brought home with face covered with a saffron
cloth amidst chanting of shlokas.

Ganesh Visarjan is the culmination of the Ganesh Chaturthi Festival
which celebrates the birthday of elephant-headed god Ganesh. Thousands
of processions converge on Mumbai's beaches like Chowpatty & Dadar
to immerse holy idols in the sea, accompanied by drum beats, devotional
songs and dancing.
