In an event marked by delays and challenges, the revered Lalbaugcha Raja idol was successfully moved onto a raft Sunday, after several failed morning attempts hampered by high tidal waters in Mumbai.
The final immersion of this iconic figure, originally scheduled before 9 a.m. at Girgaon Chowpatty, faced setbacks due to rising seawater levels and misalignment with the raft. Volunteers surmounted these issues, aided by local fishermen's advice.
With the skies ablaze in colors of sunset, a sea of onlookers erupted in jubilation as chants echoed through the air. The last leg of the immersion is anticipated close to midnight, bringing another revered chapter of this annual cultural spectacle to a close.
