Devotees gave a grand send-off to Lord Ganesh and urged him to come back soon next year as the immersion processions of idols of the elephant-headed God commenced in Maharashtra's Pune city on Thursday, the last day of the 10-day festival.

A number of celebrities from Marathi cinema were seen trying their hands on dhol-tasha, the tradition percussion instruments, during a procession on Laxmi Road, the main route of the immersion processions.
