Image of the Day… Moon on ” Anand Chathurtashi” Day…!!!

Harvest Moon seen in India by our friend Raj Hardia. Raj writes: This day called Anant Chaturdashi is the last day of the Hindu festival, Ganeshotsav which started at the fourth day of the waxing moon period. All the Ganesh idols brought into homes and communities are immersed in the sea or nearby lakes and rivers. People travel to the waterfront with the idols dancing and singing in large processions. Lord Ganesha is departed, only to be welcomed the next year with equal excitement. The Ganesha idols immersed in a river or the sea symbolizes a ritual see-off of the Lord in his journey towards his abode in Kailash while taking away with him the misfortunes of his devotees.
