The Lalbaugcha Raja mesmerises devotees with a unique theme that beautifully blends the divinity of Lord Tirupati Balaji with the beloved Ganapati
Celebrating its 92nd year, the mandal’s theme highlights Mumbai’s cultural heritage, blending spirituality with creativity and giving devotees a chance to experience devotion and artistry at their peak
Amidst chants of 'Ganpati Bappa Morya', the atmosphere in Lalbaug turned electric, with streets filled with music, drum beats, and the fragrance of flowers and incense
The organisers have made elaborate arrangements for crowd management, ensuring smooth darshan for devotees while maintaining security and safety measures
The idol, believed to be a navsacha (wish-fulfilling) Ganpati, draws not just locals but visitors from across the country, including celebrities and dignitaries who make it a point to seek blessings every year
