Summary:
A+ A-Hyderabad: The 61-feet tall Khairatabad Ganesh idol, arguably the biggest in the country, left its pandal at 7-30am on Thursday, completed its journey to Hussain Sagar in record time and was immersed in by 1:30 pm. The whole process which in the past had taken more 30 hours to complete its journey was completed within a record seven hours. The length of the journey from the Ganesh pandal to the point where it was immersed in Hussain Sagar was 5.2 km. It was immersed by cranes that used the latest computerized ARD (Automatic Release Device) technology. The speed of the procession slowed down later as it headed towards Crane number 6 where the immersion took place..
