City of Pune bid its favourite deity a simple yet graceful adieu. All the pomp and hoopla which accompanies the festival each year was absent this year. Even though the scare of H1N1 Flu had curtailed the festivities, it did not affect the festive mood of the mandal workers. The mandals had given way to the decorations and floats, which are hallmark of Pune's Ganesh Utsav. Instead, the mandals were engaged in the some social work which they are involved in throughout the year anyway. All five prestigious Ganpatis of city had completed their immersion procesion till afternoon.
