Devotees carrying idols of Ganesha and Gauri days before Ganesha Chaturthi in Bangalore on Thursday. The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) has found a new way to discourage Bangaloreans from using lakes to immerse their Ganesha Idol. Mobile immersion tanks will be taken out by the Board in different areas of the city so that people can immerese their idols in these tanks.
