Mangalore, Sep 26: Beautifully decorated Ganesha idols, glittering lights, colourful tableaux and invigorating music adorned the city roads on the evening of Tuesday September 25 as a sea of devotees gathered to mark the immersion of Ganesha's idols.
The Ganeshotsava celebrations were organized by Hindu Yuva Sene, for the 20th year.
The procession that was flagged off from Nehru Maidan wound through A B Shetty circle, Hampankatta, Navabharat circle, Dongerkery and culminated at Car Street where it was immersed in the temple tank.
The entire procession was accompanied by thousands of devotees marching in tandem, singing, dancing and chanting in unison. Drummers and artistes added more colour to the occasion, and vibrant fireworks were the cherry on the cake.
Traffic restrictions were in place throughout the route.
