History:



Facilities: As the mandal is very rich in nature, it provides every devotee who visits the idol with free Mahaprasad and lunch on particular days.

A balcony in the Pandal allows the crowd to have better look at the idol and segregates the people who want to perform pooja in the Pandal.

Peak hours: The ganesh festival is for five days only. So every hour is crowed with visitors.

Security: With a gold embedded idol, security is tight at this mandal. Apart from CCTV cameras and metal detectors, the organisers this year have planned to call in sniffer dogs to detect any bomb threats in the Pandal.

Specialty: The Ganeshotsav celebrations are conducted with immense help from devotees and volunteers who contribute through their labour and donations.

Seva Mandal also conducts various philanthropic activities like dducational assistance and financial assistance to needy individuals based on merits of the case.

How to get there: The nearest railway station on central line is Matunga and King Circle station on harbour line. Buses going towards Kurla and Ghatkopar.
