Families bring idols, visarjan Sept 25
Some families may traditionally bring home the idol on the evening before Ganesh Chaturthi, keep them for up to 10 days, and say goodbye with Visarjan on Anant Chaturdashi (September 25).
Families can also consider eco-friendly idols and decorations to reduce the environmental impact of visarjan and be mindful of the local environment.
