Mumbai, Sept 11(ANI): One person lost his life and several others got injured when the balcony of a building collapsed during a 'Ganesh Visarjan' procession in Central Mumbai's Lalbaug area on Sunday.
According to reports, at least 20 to 30 people were on the balcony, when it collapsed due to the weight of onlookers.
The injured were later rushed to a nearby hospital.
The ten-day long "Ganesh Utsav" comes to an end today with the "Ganpati Visarjan".
The festival marks the birthday of Lord Ganesha as numerous rituals are performed while a colourful statue of the portly Hindu god marks the event.
This festival concludes with the Visarjan (immersion) of idols. The immersion of the idols signifies that the deity returns to their abode after being the guest of the devotees on the occasion of Ganesha Utsav and as such many devout families bid emotional farewell to Lord Ganesha. (ANI)
