India Today TV aired live coverage of the Ganesh Visarjan ceremony, with Rahul Gandhi appearing on camera.

The broadcast showed devotees gathering along the riverbanks to immerse the Ganesh idol, a ritual that marks the conclusion of the ten‑day festival. The channel provided commentary on the cultural significance of the event while capturing the crowds that thronged the site.

Rahul Gandhi, the senior figure of the Indian National Congress, was shown greeting participants and observing the proceedings. His presence drew viewers who followed the program for both religious and political interest.

Technical crews set up multiple cameras to record the procession from the construction of the idol to its final immersion. The live feed was transmitted on the network’s television channel and streamed through its digital platform, allowing audiences nationwide to watch in real time.

Organisers of the Visarjan coordinated with local authorities to manage traffic and ensure safety during the immersion. The ceremony proceeded without reported incidents, and the network’s reporters noted the orderly conduct of the event.

Analysts noted that Gandhi’s participation in a major religious festival could be read as an effort to connect with a broad segment of the electorate. No official statement was released by his office regarding the appearance.

India Today TV plans to continue its coverage of regional festivals throughout the year, promising live broadcasts of upcoming celebrations in different states.
