The ten-day festival ends on the fourteenth day of the month, which is referred to as Chaturdashi. Interestingly, the day set aside for worshipping Lord Vishnu falls on the day after Ganeshotsav, the festival honouring Lord Ganesh. Lalbaugcha Raja Visarjan 2023 Video: Devotees Brave Mumbai Rain to Join Procession as Lord Ganesh Idol From Mumbai's Famous Ganpati Pandal Being Taken for Immersion.
