The 10-day-long Ganeshotsav festivities came to a grand close on Anant Chaturdashi on Saturday, with Mumbai giving a rousing farewell to its beloved deity amid the beats of dhol-tasha and clouds of gulal.

Scores of devotees were seen perched on road dividers, terraces of buildings, balconies, trees, and poles to catch a glimpse of Bappa as the towering idols of Mumbai Cha Raja, Khetwadi Cha Lambodar, and the famous Lalbaugcha Raja made their way out of pandals for immersion.  

Earlier in the day, 'rangolis' were drawn on roads, even as parts of the city witnessed light to moderate showers since morning.

Until noon, 405 idols had been immersed in the city, reported news agency PTI, citing official data from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
