Bombay High Court Confirms July 24 Order on Ganesh Idol Immersion Remains EffectivePreviousNext

The Bombay High Court has clarified that its July 24, 2025 order on Ganesh idol immersion remains in effect until a final verdict is delivered. The order permits Plaster of Paris (PoP) idols up to six feet tall to be immersed only in artificial water bodies, while idols taller than six feet may be immersed in natural water bodies. This clarification follows petitions challenging PoP idol manufacture and immersion, with the court maintaining restrictions pending its final judgment.
