During this period, devotees often perform the Shodashopachara Ganapati Puja, a detailed ritual involving sixteen offerings, including flowers, sweets, incense, and chants, to honour the deity.

The festival lasts for ten days and concludes with Anant Chaturdashi, also known as Ganesh Visarjan. On this day, devotees bid an emotional farewell to Bappa, immersing the idol in a river, lake, or sea, symbolising his journey back to Mount Kailash.
The visarjan processions are a sight to behold, accompanied by music, chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya” and an overwhelming sense of gratitude and joy.
