Jal
Jilani Festival at the Shree Swaminarayan Mandir
Every year after ten days of Ganesh puja at the Shree Swaminarayan Mandirs,
the murti of Ganeshji is festively paraded on Jal Jilani festival at
the mandir grounds or on the streets of the city. A maha-puja is conducted
wherein Thakorji and Ganeshji are worshiped and taken on a boat ride.
The ritual culminates in ceremoniously placing Ganeshji in the waters
of a river, lake or ocean .
