This is the cover page of Souvenir printed by "Kakinada City Ganesha Utsava Samithi" on the occasion of its Silver Jubilee year celebration (1989-2014).

This "Kakinada City Ganesha Utsava Samithi" established in the year 1989 in Kakinada and from then onwards every year there were grand celebrations by kakinada people with much enthusiasm and devotion starting from Ganesha Charurthi festival day to last day of the festival where Lord Ganesha idols nimajanam (immersion).

Last year i.e. 2013 there were nearly 300 idols immersion taken place and in the current year yesterday i.e. on 7th September, 2014 there were nearly 500 Ganesha idols nimajjanam (immersion) taken place in "Lokmanya Balagangadhar Tilak pranganam, Vinayaksagar, Jagannathapuram Warf Road, Kakinada". This place is permanent in kakinada for immersion of Ganesha idols every year.
