carry a statue of the Hindu elephant god Ganesh


Devotees carry a statue of the Hindu elephant god Ganesh, the deity of prosperity, for immersion in the sea, on the last day of " Ganesh Chaturthi", in Mumbai September 14, 2008. Clay statues of Ganesh are made two to three months before the day of "Ganesh Chaturthi", a popular religious festival in India. The idols are taken through the streets in a procession accompanied with dancing, singing, to be immersed in a river or the sea symbolizing a ritual see-off of His journey towards His abode in "Kailash" , while taking away with him the misfortunes of all mankind
