The annual Ganeshotsav festival will culminate with immersion of Ganpati idols on Friday, September 9.
Meanwhile, idol immersion in Dahisar river inside SGNP is set to resume this year on the 10th day of the Ganesh festival on Wednesday. “All preparations have been made for immersion in the Dahisar river in SGNP, based on demand from local political leaders and Ganesh mandals.
