Guests at Mumbai Luxury Apartment Celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi

MUMBAI, INDIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/10/12 -- On September 20, 2012, associates of these Mumbai service apartments celebrated Ganesh Visarjan, the Hindu festival marking the birthday of Lord Ganesha, bringing along 22 guests of the Lakeside Chalet - Mumbai Marriott Executive Apartments to participate.

Guests of these luxury apartments in Mumbai donned traditional Indian dress as they traveled down to the banks of Powai Lake with hotel associates, a special hotel coach and an idol of the Lord Ganesha, which was housed at the hotel for the day. The city's biggest festival draws a number of processions and live music, creating an atmosphere of community and excitement. Once the procession reached the lake, prayers were offered and the idol was immersed in the water.

The annual festival, celebrated across the world and near these service apartments in Andheri, begins with installations of Ganesh idols in homes and specially constructed structures, mandapas and pandals, throughout the city. Structures are decorated using lights and flowers, and sometimes take on a religious or current event theme. After 10 days of worship, the idol is taken through the streets on the 11th day, accompanied by processions of singing and dancing. The immersion into water symbolizes Ganesh's journey home and his taking the misfortunes of his devotees with him.
