The towering Bada Ganesh idol from Khairatabad was ceremoniously submerged in Hyderabad's Hussain Sagar lake as part of the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities.
The massive Bada Ganesh idol, a hallmark of Hyderabad's Khairatabad neighbourhood, was taken to Hussain Sagar lake for immersion on the concluding day of the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. The ritual, observed by thousands of devotees, marked the traditional farewell to the deity after a week of worship.
Standing at over 30 feet, the Khairatabad Ganesh is one of the city's most prominent idols, drawing crowds from across Telangana. Its immersion drew a sizable gathering, with families and pilgrims lining the lake's banks to witness the final rites.
Local municipal officials oversaw the event, coordinating traffic diversion and crowd control to ensure safety. Environmental guidelines were followed, with the idol prepared using eco‑friendly materials to minimise impact on the lake's ecosystem.
