The immersion of the iconic Lalbaugcha Raja idol is now expected to take place around 11 pm on Sunday, after several delays caused by high tide and technical difficulties, officials said, reported the PTI.
Traditionally, the idol is immersed in the Arabian Sea off Chowpatty in south Mumbai`s Girgaon before 9 am. However, this year, the idol was shifted onto a raft only in the late afternoon, following repeated attempts earlier in the day.
The idol had reached Chowpatty over eight hours earlier, after a 28-hour-long grand procession that began from Lalbaug on Saturday afternoon.
