Ideal immersion procession by ‘Toophan Ganeshotsava Mandal’ at Bhor
Pune (Maharashtra): Mr. Rajendra Ghole of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) explained about ideal manner of immersion of Sri Ganesh idols to Mr. Bandal, the President of ‘Toophan Ganeshotsava Mandal (Mandal)’ from Vetaal Peth and Mr. Devidas Gaikwad. Mr. Ghole impressed upon them that it was necessary to stop perverted practices followed during Ganesh Festival to maintain the sanctity of the festival and it was necessary for everyone to take initiative in preventing malpractices so also to see that the festival was celebrated in ideal manner.
After HJS member’s guidance, the ‘Mandal’ did not use Dolby sound system, stopped obscene dance on film songs and excessive use of ‘gulal’. Immersion procession was taken out in traditional attire worn by men and women. Even traditional games like ‘phugadi’ were played. ‘Subhash Mitramandal’ from Mangalwar Peth also took out an ideal procession for immersion of idols and set an example before other ‘Mandals’.
