Ganesh Visarjan 2025: Why should one not look back after immersion of Bappa, know the reason..

Today, on 6th September, the festival of Anant Chaturdashi will be celebrated, and on this day, Ganpati is also immersed. With the same pomp and show with which Bappa is brought to the house or pandal, Bappa is also bid farewell with drums. Some people immerse him after one and a half days, while some do it on the third, fifth, or seventh day. But most of the time, Bappa is bid farewell on the day of Anant Chaturdashi. After bidding farewell to Bappa with rituals, one does not look back. Yes, if you are not aware of this, then today we tell you that after immersion, one should not look back, even by mistake. Let's know why…

Vighnaharta removes every obstacle.

In Hinduism, Ganeshji is considered the first to be worshipped. Ganeshji is worshipped before doing any auspicious work. It is believed that by worshipping Ganeshji, all the troubles of life go away and happiness, peace, and prosperity are attained. Also, by worshipping Ganesha, the position of Mercury in the horoscope is strengthened, and one gets rid of many types of defects. On the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, Bappa is brought to the house or pandal with great pomp and show and is worshipped with rituals for 10 days, then on the day of Chaturdashi, Bappa is bid farewell with great pomp and show. During the immersion, the devotees of Bappa seek forgiveness for their mistakes and receive blessings and wish for his early return next year.

Do not look back, even by mistake, after immersion.

According to religious beliefs, one should not look back after immersion of Bappa. This means that we should keep moving forward in our lives and have faith in the first revered Vighnaharta that he is always with us. In this way, not only will you respect Ganesha, but you will also fully enjoy devotion and God's grace. When we look back, it is a sign that we are holding the sorrow of separation from Bappa in our hearts. Scriptures say that the fruits of worship and fasting are complete only when we leave attachment and resolve to welcome again next year with faith and hope.

Looking back is a symbol of distrust.

Bappa's immersion means that Bappa will now dissolve in water and will again come into our lives in the form of happiness and prosperity. Looking back is considered a symbol of distrust. If a person looks back repeatedly after immersion, then their power of meditation weakens. Therefore, it is said that you should move forward and welcome new positive energy into your life. Immersion is not just putting the idol in water, but also the immersion of ego, sins, and sorrows. Looking back means holding on to old sorrows again; hence, it is forbidden to look back after immersion.
