Very sad that it has come to this. One article mentions unrest at one immersion festival after the worshippers taunted others, while another mentions the attackers were Muslims.

There were some tragedies reported, as well. Some worshippers drowned during the immersion of the idol while others were hit by a truck.

I am not Hindu but Ganesh has been a friendly presence on my 'Ganesh-mobiles.'

May there be peace.
