In preparation for Ganeshotsav 2024, the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) methodically prepared and executed a complete lighting and power supply network to ensure that the city's devotees have a seamless and well-lit festival experience. The plans, developed in partnership with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), would include significant procession routes, immersion locations, and artificial ponds throughout Mumbai.
