As the Ganeshotsav festivities come to a close on Monday, the city of Hyderabad is also preparing to bid adieu to the country's tallest Lord Ganesha idol.
The organisers of the Khairatabad Ganesh Mandap in Hyderabad were forced to dump their four ton ladoo into the Hussain Sagar Lake after it was spoilt in the heavy downpour on Wednesday.
While the administration has imposed strict restrictions on immersion of Ganesh idols in all cities, devotees were seen taking one last glimpse of Lord Ganesha on the last day of the ten-day-long Ganesh Chaturthi.
The 10-day-long annual Ganesh Chaturthi festival began on a low-key note on Friday with several state governments prohibiting public celebrations due to the Covid pandemic and devotees taking the virtual route to pay obeisance and join the festivities.
