Every year, the Ganesh Chaturthi festival is celebrated with enthusiasm and funfare in Mumbai and across the state of Maharashtra. But this year, due to the global pandemic wreaking havoc in the state, big Ganesh associations have called off or postponned the celebrations.The Ganesh Chaturthi festival starts around August 22 this year.

After the G.S.B Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal and Lalbaugcha Raja cancelled the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, another big mandal Chinchpoklicha Chintamani has decided to forgo the festival in wake of the COVID-19 crisis.
