Ganesha - 18th September 2019
Last week was the end of a festival to celebrate the Hindu elephant god Ganesha. The festival was 11 days long.
In Mumbai, India, Hindu people filled the streets with thousands of pictures and statues of Ganesha.
The Hindu people carried the statues of Ganesha to the Arabian Sea or to ponds to put them in the water.
It's an important festival for all Hindus to say farewell to the god.
Man 1: "People come together, worship and they pray for their prosperity and good health for the year to come."
It is a colourful end to the festival.
