The concentration of halide in the Varal Devi lake water were determined during festival periods.The water sample collected from three different sites of Varal Devi lake in Bhiwandi city. Sampling of water sample carried out pre, during and post Idol immersion activities.The physicochemical parameter like chloride and residual chlorine were determined. The results were compared with standards prescribed by WHO (1973) and ISI (10500-91). The level of Chloride in all water samples from all station are less than the standard set by WHO and BIS.It was found that the water samples collected from three sites of Varal Devi Lake in Bhiwandi city was not contaminated with chloride but vice versa is true for residual chlorine.
