As many as 1.84 lakh Ganesha idols were immersed in mobile tanks and permanent and temporary immersion ponds on lake premises across the five city corporations under the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) on Monday.

The highest number of immersions was recorded at the West City Corporation, with 1.2 lakh idols immersed. West was followed by Central City Corporation with 28,860, North with 16,857, South with 10,372, and East with 8,460.

For Ganesha idol immersion, the GBA had arranged 42 lake premises and temporary immersion tanks and 659 mobile tanks across the five corporations. The mobile tanks were provided on a ward-wise basis.

The GBA also established 122 single-window centres across the five corporations to facilitate permissions for Ganesh idol installation. The centres included 30 in the north, 29 in the south, 24 in the centre, 22 in the west, and 17 in the east corporations.

Nodal officers were appointed to guide the public on idol installation and immersion and oversee the arrangements, the GBA said. Information on immersion locations, mobile tanks, single-window centres, and other arrangements has been listed on the GBA website.
