Abstract

India is a country of different cultural and religious festivals. In this, Ganesh Chaturthi and Durga Pujan is celebrated all over India ,in which idol immersion in water. There are several type of heavy metal in the making of the Idol such as Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, Zinc, Chromium and Lead, not just using these metal butNon-biodegradable materials and synthetic paints also used for making these idols are harmfulfor environment and aquatic life.The present study has been made to analyze the physicochemical parameters of the Gandhari River after idol immersion from Kannad Tehsil and nearby places for analyzing the various physicochemical parameters such as Temperature, pH, TDS,BOD, DO, Phosphate , Nitrate, COD, Oil and Grease, etc. In this study focus on the condition of River water before and after idol immersion and observe the quality of water with respect to water parameter.
