A shocking scene from a Ganesh visarjan has left social media users angry and heartbroken. A video that is now going viral shows a man climbing onto a massive Ganesh idol during immersion and standing on top of it in an attempt to push it into the water. The incident, reportedly from a visarjan procession, has triggered outrage over what many call sheer disrespect to Lord Ganesh.
In the clip, the beautifully crafted idol, worshipped for days during Ganesh Chaturthi, is seen lying awkwardly in the water body while the man struggles to move it. Instead of using proper ropes or mechanical help, he steps directly on the idol, balancing himself on the deity’s chest and head, trying to slide it further into the river. The act, recorded by onlookers, quickly spread online and drew sharp criticism.

Many users condemned the act as offensive and careless. Comments flooded the post, reflecting the public mood. One user wrote, “Strong feeling that he is non-Hindu or Bhimta.” Another commented, “Please, if you are not interested in doing visarjan properly, please don’t keep idols.” A third user lamented, “We worshipped this statue as Sri Ganesh for a week, but now it’s being treated disrespectfully.”
The incident has sparked calls for stricter monitoring of immersion practices and a reminder that religious rituals must be performed with dignity.
