He also expressed the bittersweet feeling of seeing ‘bappa’ leave after 10 days of festivities, but also realised how next year Lord Ganesh will be coming back.
“Ganeshotsav was celebrated very well for 10 days in Maharashtra. When Ganesh ji is immersed, there is a little sadness that ‘Bappa’ is leaving us after 10 days. But there is also happiness that Ganesh ji will come again next year,” CM Fadnavis said.
‘Ganpati Visarjan’ is observed on the 10th day of the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, which concludes on Anant Chaturdashi, marking a 10-day celebration dedicated to Lord Ganesha. (ANI)
