All these years immersion of Ganapati idols was a major problem faced by the general public due to the non-availability of suitable wells. Existing wells did not have adequate water thus forcing the authorities concerned to fill them with water every year.
However, this year it is not a problem since the Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation has constructed a big pond inside the Indira Glass House for immersion of four to five idols simultaneously.
The brain behind this idea is Mr P Manivannan, commissioner of HDMC. A contractor from Belgaum has specially designed this pond to suit the needs of Hublites. There will be four to five pedestals around the pond on which people can keep the idols, perform pooja and immerse them.
The pond is about 20-25 feet deep and it is fenced on all sides. The idea behind this is to prevent the mad rush near the one and only well situated adjacent to the old bus stand which remains dry throughout the year. The HDMC will be putting bright lights around the pond for clear visibility.
