Andheri Cha Raja during last year's Ganesh Chaturthi festival

Ahead of the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai and across Maharashtra, the state home department issued guidelines for the festival which will be celebrated in the last week of August. Taking into account the coronavirus pandemic, the department directed all Ganpati mandals to stream darshan via Facebook live, cable television, websites, and other modes of online mediums.

According to the notification, the height of idols installed by Ganpati Mandals should be restricted to only four feet while those installed at home cannot be taller than two feet. The mandals have also been urged to postpone the immersion of idols and people have been urged to use metal or marble Ganesh idols at home.
