Today, Hindus across the world will be celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi. The idols are taken through the streets in a procession accompanied by dancing and singing, to be immersed in a river or the sea symbolizing a ritual see-off of his journey towards his abode in "Kailash", while taking away with him the misfortunes of all mankind
Devotees carry idols of the Hindu elephant god Ganesh, the deity of prosperity, on vehicles as they procede toward the sea for its immersion on the fourth day of the ten-day-long Ganesh Chaturthi festival in the southern Indian city of Chennai September 4, 2011.
