That's the end of the festival It's a good time where the bad comes to stay during festivals It's on the last day of the departure Ganesh is the god of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune The festival is hugely popular with the millions of people Who've flooded into this great city in recent years Fleeing rural poverty and seeking a better life We're at a very long and magnificent wonderful day Ganesh is going into the sea What city this took place in? Uh... If it said Mumbai Is it? Check in the description I'm just uh... Just guessing Spitball in here Uh... Let me check here Doo doo doo doo Mumbai! Mumbai, good guess I doubt, guess Mumbai Uh... Somebody's just been asking Do they leave it in the ocean? Yeah, but it's done But it stays there like a shipwreck Like a shipwreck? Yes, it's gone So if somebody goes diving, there's a bunch of Ganesh's down there? Yeah, I'm sure over time The salt and the ocean floor covers it You go down, you're scuba diving All of a sudden? Elephants Everywhere, yeah Which would be cool But I'm pretty sure it gets covered up And also over time, depending on how far it gets out there Actually coral can grow on it Stuff like that Or is it biodegradable? Just like... Maybe The materials that they made it looked metal The materials that's made with it very well could be biodegradable Knowing India And how conscious they are of the planet It would not surprise me if they were biodegradable materials And please, obviously inform us Let us know Because Rick knows nothing So I'm not relying on him for actually 100% you shouldn't I do know that it stays I do know that Yeah?
