Annat Chaturdashi - Ganesh Visarjan , Indore

Anant Chaturdashi is the last day of 10 day Ganesh Chaturthi Celebrations. Ganeshotsav, the festivity of Ganesh Chaturthi, ends after 10 days, on Anant Chaturdashi, which is also known as Ganesh Visarjan day when devotees immerse the idol of Lord Ganesh in a water body, usually in lakes, rivers, seas, or ponds ! However, Indore has a unique twist to this great festival of Anant Chaturdashi, when people collectively take their idols for immersion ! Indore Municipal Corporation and Indore Development Authority conduct a Chal Samaaroh (procession) in association with various organisations, administration, and the bodies of the erstwhile textile mills – the Rajkumar Mill, Swadeshi Mills, Hukumchand Mills, etc. ! In this procession, the beautiful JHAANKIS (Tableau) created over a period of more than 10 days, are a sight to behold ! They are long, vibrant, and lifelike displays of scenes, places, iconic temples, etc. surrounding the idol of Lord Ganesh ! They start from the Malwa Mill area, proceed to Chiman Bagh via Rajkumar Mill Flyover, Jail Road, M. G. Road, Krishnapuraa Chattris & Bridge, Fruit Market, Narsinh Bazaar, Khajoori Bazaar, and finally to Rajwada, before going to their origins.
