Ten days of festivities and celebrations culminates today. A true sight to behold as all roads lead to the sea. Rains, strong breeze and people oblivious to these, seen dancing bidding adieu to the elephant god.

The streets are lined with stalls at regular intervals offering refreshments to all, for free.
The air is electrifying and devotion at its pinnacle........Until next year.
I used to enjoy the celebrations when I was in Pune… used to walk with the procession just like that…
