Hyderabad, Sept 28 (Hydnow): After a six-hour procession within the city limits of Hyderabad, the 63-foot-tall Khairatabad Ganesh was finally immersed in the Hussain Sagar on Thursday afternoon.
A huge crowd gathered at Hussain Sagar to witness the last glimpse of the Bada Ganesh. Punja for the Khairatabad Ganesh began at midnight on the ninth day of Vinayaka Chaturthi, After which, the Ganesh Utsav Committee started the procession by initially loading the smaller idols onto a platform and trailer that was used to move them.
It took three hours of metal work to remove the iron frames attached to the giant Ganesh and then load it to the trailer using a crane. The 63-foot-tall idol joined the procession from Khairatabad and reached the NTR marg to be immersed in the Hussain Sagar Lake said an official of the Utsav committee. (Hydnow)
