Hindus of Chennai, particularly
in Triplicane adjoin the sea shore, have taken to Ganesh Utsav in a big
way. Over 508 lady citizens of the locality
carrying ‘deep’ (oil-lamp) stood by on both sides of the road to welcome huge
Ganesha idols which were being brought in order to be installed in a public
place. All the ten days preceding
visarjan were thematic ‘days’ highlighting various aspects of Hindu culture
like dance, bhajan, rangoli etc. Also each section of Hindu society including
the fisher-folk took enthusiastic part in the festival by cooking the
ritualistic Pongal on the main road. The
road of the fisher-folk in visarjan procession is crucial in that, only after
their clearance the procession starts towards the sea.
