Visrajan means the process of emmersion of the Ganpati idol into water. This time, a lot of people have been asked to immerse their Ganpati murtis in their homes itself, to avoid crowds. It is also an eco-friendly way of celebration. Bidding goodbye to Lord Ganesha is never easy but it is the way celebrations take place and people pray to Lord Ganpati to come sooner next year. Usually Ganpati is kept for 1.5, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days. Big pandals keep it for 10 days, while households have 5 to 7 days depending on their traditons.
