Ganesh Visarjan - Murthi Immersion
Sep 18, 2021 6:00pm-7:30pm (ended)
Ganesh Visarjan - Murthi Immersion - is the culmination of Ganesh Chaturthi. The symbolism of the immersion ceremony is that all forms are temporary, having both their origin and final destination in the formless Absolute.
The program will be led virtually from MA Center. Participants will be guided through a short puja ceremony to their Ganesh figure, after which everyone can take ten minutes to immerse their clay murthis in a bucket of water*. Bhajans (devotional singing) will follow.
The program will be livestreamed on the MA Center San Ramon YouTube channel at this link: https://youtu.be/cmhXQrfMIwc
*After the murthis dissolve, the water can be used to water your plants. You are also welcome to take your murthi to a nearby body of water for immersion, although that would take longer than 10 minutes.
Ganesh Chaturthi is a three-part event:
September 4-8: Ganesh Murthi Making
Thursday, September 9: Ganesh Chaturthi Puja
Saturday, September 18. 6:00-7:30 pm: Ganesh Visarjan - Immersion Ceremony

Use the call box on your left just before the outer gate to communicate that you need the gate opened to drive through. Then follow the road past the temple. The road continues on the right next to the temple gate, then curves left up the hill to the Main House. The puja room is just inside the front door to the house.
