On Day 7 of Ganeshotsav, several household and community mandals immersed the idols of Ganpati and Goddess Gauri in the sea.

Until 3 pm on Tuesday, 504 idols had been immersed in artificial and natural water bodies across Mumbai. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) currently does not have data on how many idols were immersed in natural water bodies.

In compliance with Bombay High Court directives, the civic corporation had set up 288 artificial ponds for the immersion of Ganpati idols before the festival began on August 27, to make the immersion process easier for Mumbaikars.
