Lalbaugcha Raja In Delhi: The well-known Lalbaugcha Raja of Mumbai, also known as Lalbagh kay Raja, will be coming to Delhi in order to transform the Ganesh Mahotsav into an amazing event for the capital's devotees. This famed Ganesha statue from Mumbai first arrived in Delhi in 2015.
On Monday, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari held a press conference at the Constitution Club in New Delhi to reveal the event's details. Tiwari is part of the organising committee.
Inviting the people of Delhi NCR for the darshan of Lalbagh ka Raja, Tiwari said, “People from across the country travel to Mumbai to have darshan of Lalbagh ka Raja. Since 2015, we've also brought the Lalbagh ka Raja to Delhi.”
The Ganesh Mahotsav, which will take place from September 7–16, will be a spectacular event at the DDA Ground, near Sanat Nirankari Samagam, Burari.

According to Tiwari, the 600,000-square-foot pandal would have a wooden floor and can hold about 500,000 people. “It will include dedicated sections for discourses by Baba Bageshwar Ji and Aniruddhacharya Ji Maharaj, as well as cultural programmes and musical performances in the evening,” he said.
The Lalbagh ka Raja Trust Chairman, Rakesh Bindal, continued, "The pandal will feature a giant adventure wheel and various attractions." "It is expected to draw between 100,000 and 500,000 devotees. Attendees can enjoy cultural programmes, musical performances, and a wide range of food stalls offering regional dishes," he said.
The Ganesh statue, in particular, will be an exact duplicate of the Mumbai idol that was made at the original location. This environmentally friendly statue is intended to be submerged in a specifically made pit at the site of the event.
