Saturday at MA Center - Ganesh Visarjana

Make a day of it! Join us in any of the activities or just for the evening program.

Ganesh Visarjana or Murthi Immersion is the culmination of Ganesh Chaturthi. The symbolism of the Ganesh immersion ceremony is that all forms are temporary, having both their origin and final destination in the formless Absolute.
