Mumbai Cha Raja 2026 is here — and Ganesh Galli is celebrating its milestone 99th year of Ganeshotsav with a towering 22-foot idol of Lord Ganesha. Known as the ‘King of Mumbai’, Mumbai Cha Raja features an impressive Ashtabhuja Ganpati this year — the powerful eight-armed form of Lord Ganesha, symbolising strength, protection and the ability to overcome negativity. We also speak to the organisers about the expected daily footfall, darshan arrangements and facilities being provided for devotees. Watch the complete first day tour of Mumbai Cha Raja 2026 from Ganesh Galli on Ganesh Chaturthi. 

Ganesh Chaturthi is here and to many, the festival is incomplete without a visit to the Lalbaugcha Raja. Mumbai’s iconic Ganpati mandal has unveiled a stunning Shiva-themed look! As thousands of devotees gather at Lalbaug to seek Bappa’s blessings, here’s a complete first look at Lalbaugcha Raja 2026 — including the new pandal decor, giant Shiva statue, idol, queue experience and festive atmosphere.
