Understanding Ganesh Visarjan

Ganesh Chaturthi is a festival marked by deep devotion and joy. After ten days of honoring Ganpati Bappa at home, the final day is dedicated to his farewell, known as Ganesh Visarjan. This ritual holds immense religious importance in Hinduism, symbolizing the belief that Ganpati carries away the sorrows of his devotees, replacing them with joy. The immersion also carries special significance. According to Acharya Anand Bhardwaj from Ujjain, donating specific items after Bappa's farewell on this day ensures that Lord Ganesha's blessings remain with devotees throughout the year, and even unfavorable planetary positions in horoscopes can yield positive outcomes. It is essential to bid farewell to Bappa during this auspicious time.
