Ganesh idols are immersed across Bengaluru on Monday, with outlets reporting that close to 2 lakh idols are put into water on the first day of the immersion drive. The Hindu says 1.84 lakh idols are immersed across five city corporations, while Times of India reports the figure is “almost 2L” on the first day.
The reports refer to the same large-scale public observance and present the counts as part of the city’s immersion process involving multiple civic jurisdictions. While the overall numbers broadly match, the outlets differ slightly in how they phrase and round the totals—one gives an exact figure (1.84 lakh) and the other uses an approximate description (“almost 2L”). Both accounts focus on the scale of the immersion rather than specific incidents or policy changes.
Taken together, the coverage indicates that Bengaluru’s immersion activity on Monday reaches about the 1.84 lakh mark across five municipal corporations, with the first-day totals falling just under 200,000 idols.
