The procession started from the pandal on Veera Desai Road in Andheri, where devotees gathered to bid farewell to the beloved Lord Ganesha. Pics/Kirti Surve Parade

Devotees danced, sang devotional songs, and chanted “Ganpati Bappa Morya” as the idol made its way through the streets

As most of the sarvajanik or public pandals perform the Ganesh Visarjan on the 10th day of the Ganpati festival, it is different with the Andhericha Raja, it stays with the devotees a bit longer and the visarjan is conducted on Sankashti

The Andhericha Raja leaves the pandal on Sankashti and is taken across the Andheri west area including parts of Amboli and Versova

The visarjan every year is conducted with grand celebrations

Andhericha Raja is known for being one of the last Ganesh idols in Mumbai to be immersed, traditionally on Sankashti Chaturdashi, instead of the usual Anant Chaturdashi
