Nashik residents are flocking to view elaborate Ganeshotsav displays as the city braces for the end of the festival. Public Ganesh mandals across Nashik have created themed tableaux to attract crowds. Young friends, college students, and families are gathering in the evenings to seek blessings from Bappa and admire the artistic exhibits.
From Panchavati to Satpur, crowds have been sighted near mandals' pandals well into the night. Police have restricted vehicle access between 5 pm and midnight on certain central roads to manage the influx of devotees. Despite this, many still walk to view the displays. The tradition of visiting public mandals continues, with families and students taking their children along.
This year, mandals have crafted displays focusing on social issues, such as potholes, accidents, and Kumbh Mela-related infrastructure work. One display at Trimurti Nagar Kala in Panchavati asks Bappa if he should return next year, drawing attention from citizens. The city's festive atmosphere is amplified by the presence of three lakh households with household Ganesh idols and 600 to 700 public Ganesh mandals.
As Ganeshotsav nears its conclusion, devotees remain enthusiastic, chanting "Ganpati Bappa Morya!" and eagerly awaiting the Anant Chaturdashi immersion procession.
