She immersed the Lord Ganesha idol inside a water drum at her residence rather than public water bodies. She wore a simple, traditional yellow suit for the farewell ceremony. She shared glimpses of the ritual online and captioned her farewell in Marathi with "Pudhachya Varshi Lavkar Ya" (Come back soon next year).
