Day one: Darshan of majestic Lalbaugcha raja

Every year Mumbai witnesses great vigour and enthusiasm while celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi. Discussion on Mumbai and its favourite festival Ganesh Chaturthi is incomplete without mentioning Lalbaugcha Raja. Founded eight decades ago, devotees throng to get a glimpse of the Vighnaharta. Witnessing a darshan queue as long as 3-4 km is not unusual. It is believed that by praying to the Lalbaugcha Raja, one’s wishes will be fulfilled.
