Over 37,000 Ganesha idols were immersed on Anant Chaturdashi in Mumbai, according to the data by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. The BMC data stated that by 6 am on September 18, as many as 37, 064 idols of Lord Ganesha--including sarvajanik (public) and gharguti (home)--were immersed. 

The BMC said that of the total, 31,105 were household idols, 197 were Gauri idols, and 5,762 were idols displayed in public. In addition, 11,713 idols were submerged in man-made lakes established across the city. These man-made lakes were created to control the enormous number of immersions and lessen the damage to natural water bodies. Specifically, 709 Sarvjanik idols, 10,957 Gharguti idols, and 47 Gauri idols were submerged in them.
