Ganesh Chaturthi is a ten-day long Hindu religious festival which ends with the immersion of the idols that are taken through the streets in processions, accompanied by dancing and singing, to water tanks, lakes, rivers or seas. The immersion not only symbolizes a ritual send-off to the deity on his journey to his heavenly abode but also carrying away of the misfortunes of mankind. (REUTERS/Krishnendu Halder)</p>
