Anant Chaturdashi: How Hindus and Jains Mark a Day of Immersion, Vows, and Forgiveness
7 Sep

Anant Chaturdashi brings two big traditions together: the final immersion of Ganesh idols and the close of Jain Paryushan/Das Lakshan. Hindus tie the 14-knot thread and pray to Vishnu as Anant, while Jains focus on forgiveness and the ten virtues. Cities prepare for crowds, traffic curbs, and cleaner immersions. The day blends devotion, community, and responsibility.
