Vinayagar Immersion September 11, 2013


The below photographs are of the 2013 September 11, immersion of Vinayagar Statues in the Tamari Nagar community water reservoir.

Nowadays the use of heavy lifting equipment marks a departure from the more rustic, labour intensive immersions of years previously. 


The Big Guy needs a crane for lift off!


Lets just enjoy these photos, and try harder to have an ecologically sound Festival next year!

To give you an idea of labour intensive Vinayagar Immersions pre-cranes, the below is a photo of the 2008 Immersion also at the Tamari Nagar Housing Board Tank at Tiruvannamalai. Nowadays this size statue would be crane assisted!
