It was the Anant Chaturdashi. The final farewell to Lord Ganesha. The Pune immersion procession is quite an event on this particular day. True, often there are dances that are not exactly holy by any definition. Yet there is a special feel to the procession with the unique traditional dhol-tasha beat, the brilliant (literally with the e(c)lectric tableaux) farewell vehicles, and the spectactors charged with a special zest. Corona took away the sheen, and yet this year the janata chose to crowd the street post Gauri Visarjana. Hope there is not the third wave looming large!
