Tenth anniversary of Ganesh Visarjan offbeat
New Delhi ( News Varta) : The unique tradition of Ganesh Visarjan continues by the lawyers.
The tenth anniversary of Ganpati Visarjan was celebrated with great pomp by the lawyers at Rohini Court.
Ganesh Visarjan, also known as Ganapati Visarjan, is an important Hindu festival celebrated mainly in India and marks the conclusion of the ten-day long Ganesh Chaturthi festivities. The festival celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the god of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune. The Visarjan ceremony involves immersion of Ganesha idols in water bodies, usually rivers, lakes or seas. Devotees carry elaborately crafted idols of Lord Ganesha in vibrant processions accompanied by music, dance and chanting.
Immersion symbolizes the departure of Lord Ganesha to his divine abode, marking the end of his earthly sojourn and the promise of his return the following year. It is believed that during the immersion, Lord Ganesha takes away the misfortunes and obstacles of his devotees and bestows them with blessings and prosperity.
Ganesh Visarjan attracts millions of devotees from across the country. In recent years, efforts have been made to promote eco-friendly practices during the festival, encouraging the use of biodegradable idols and organic materials to reduce environmental impact.
Ganesh Visarjan is primarily celebrated in India, but it has also gained popularity in other parts of the world. The festival promotes a sense of community, spirituality, and cultural pride, and embodies the spirit of unity and devotion among its participants.
As part of the unique tradition of immersion, Shri Rajiv Agnihotri, President of Lawyers United Front, presented a Ganesh idol to Chandra Pal Singh Gusain, which was worshipped for ten days.
Shri Agnihotri says that Lord Ganesh never said that he should be immersed in rivers, lakes or ponds. Advocate Chandra Pal Singh Gusain said that it is my good fortune that the idol was given to me. I am an environment lover and also a Ganesh devotee.
Mr Agnihotri said that it is important that we celebrate this festival keeping in mind the need for environmental protection and prevention and control of pollution.
Advocates Ajeet Kumar, Vichitra Kumar, Babita Ahlawat, Ved Parkash, Prem Prakash Vashishth, M Subramaniam,B.C.Pant, Devendra Singh Bisht, Kamlesh Gupta, Ashok Sharma, R.K. Tiwari, Santosh Kumar Singh, Vivek Verma, Hardev Chadha and others participated.
