This year Ganeshotsav will be a low-key affair for all with municipal corporations issuing strict guidelines related to height of idols for society celebrations and visarjan. The civic bodies have said residents should be encouraged to use artificial ponds or drums within the society complex and should also not crowd at visarjan spots.

Komal Khatri, a resident of Dreams Complex, Bhandup West, said, "Unlike every year, this time I have opted for an eco-friendly Ganesha plant, which is a small idol. We are also using homemade décor to keep it simple."
