Some mandals choose not to immerse POP Ganpati idols

February 12, 2025

Hindustan Times Navi Mumbai

The Bombay high court's January 30 interim order that no Plaster of Paris (POP) idol should be immersed in natural water bodies trumped over religious practices for some Ganpati mandals in Charkop on Tuesday.

MUMBAI: However, the mandals shunned the BMC's artificial ponds created for immersion and kept their idols in their private premises instead.

February 11 marked the end of Maghi Ganeshotsav, and some idols such as Charkopcha Peshwa were bid adieu with great fanfare and immersed in the BMC's artificial pond in Bangur Nagar, Goregaon West. Charkop is to Maghi what Lalbaug-Parel is to the main Bhadrapad Ganeshotsav in August-September. Charkop Maghi Ganeshas are known for some prominent idols such as Charkop cha Raja, Charkopcha Peshwa, Charkopcha Parmeshwar and Charkopcha Samrat.
