Nashik : Dug-up and narrowed roads in the heart of Nashik have forced Sarvajanik Ganesh Mandals to modify their immersion plans this Anant Chaturdashi .
There will, however, be no change in the timing or traditional route of the main procession featuring the larger decorative idols, the Nashik Ganeshotsav Mahamandal said. We want to avoid that, considering the safety of the people,” said Sameer Shete, the Nashik Ganeshotsav Mahamandal president. Explaining the change, Shete said, “The regular procession passes through Ravivar Karanja and then Panchavati Karanja.
“In the night, there are chances of some impediments on the road that could create an embarrassing situation. From there, it turns right and reaches Ramkund and Mhasoba Patangan, where the deities are immersed. But since road construction is going on, we have decided to change the routine this year and carry out the immersion of the deity early.”
