Indian Hindu devotees prepare to immerse an idol of the elephant-headed Hindu God Ganesh into the Hussain Sagar Lake in Hyderabad on September 11, 2011. Hindu devotees bring home and offer prayers in temporary temples built for idols of Lord Ganesha in order to invoke his blessings for wisdom and prosperity during the ten-day Ganesha Festival, culminating with the immersion of the idols in bodies of water, including the ocean.
