Mumbai Lalbaugcha Raja First Look:  The first glimpse of Lalbaugcha Raja was unveiled on Thursday, one day ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi, marking the beginning of Mumbai's ten-day celebration. The most popular Ganesh mandal in Mumbai is Lalbaugcha Raja, also known as the "King of Lalbaug," and it is situated near Putlabai Chawl.

Every year, thousands of Mumbaikars, ranging from commoners to celebrities, wait in huge lines at Lalbaug to catch a glimpse of the legendary figure.

Beginning on September 7, Maharashtra will celebrate the Ganapati festival, a significant occasion.

Ganesh Chaturthi 2024, which falls on September 7 this year, is the festive celebration of Lord Ganesha's birth. Devotees across India, including Maharashtra, are erecting colorful pandals, giving prayers, and executing rituals to invoke the deity's blessings for knowledge and wealth.

Meanwhile, the son of businessman Mukesh Ambani, Anant Ambani, has joined Mumbai's Lalbaugcha Raja Ganpati Mandal. Anant Ambani is now an honorary member of Mumbai's renowned "King of Lalbaug," also known as Navasacha Ganpati, which means "wish fulfilling Ganpati."

The idea to grant Anant Ambani honorary membership was presented and adopted at the mandal's most recent annual general body meeting.

“The committee has given the go-ahead for his honorary membership. The decision has been taken at the AGM. The honorary membership will be extended every year with the approval of the general body,” said a senior member of the mandal on condition of anonymity to Mid-Day.
