Lalbaugcha Raja gets more regal: Iconic Ganpati idol to be housed in ‘sheesh mahal’ by Nitin Desai

Ganesh Chaturthi, Mumbai’s favorite festival, is a week away and preparations to welcome ‘Mumbaicha Raja’ are on full swing all over the city. From thematic pandals to massive idols, from the artisans to the administration, everyone is gearing up to make the 10-day celebration memorable. One of the most popular Ganpati pandals in the city, without a doubt, would be the Lalbaugcha Raja in Parel. The iconic pandal, which is over 80 years old, is known for attracting massive crowds who wait for hours and sometimes days in queues to get a glimpse of the ‘Raja’.
