The Lalbaugcha Raja, a Ganesh idol from Mumbai's Lalbaug area, is particularly well-loved by devotees and is the Ganesh idol that receives the greatest annual traffic in Mumbai. As the celebrations return for the first time in 2020 following the breakout of Covid-19, it is interesting to see that Ganeshotsav will be celebrated this year with great vigour and excitement. (LIVE VIDEO)

Lalbaugcha Raja will now spend 11 days at this pandal, where worshippers will visit him from Mumbai and all around the country. It is said that anyone who visits Lalbaugcha Raja's feet to bow never leaves empty-handed. Well, this is a major factor in why followers go from many states to witness Bappa and his elaborate décor.

Devotees come here to meet Bappa each year after having their desires granted for this reason. The devotees are given a variety of facilities for Lalbaugcha Raja's darshan. Additionally, this year, many queues have been created. Most crucial, though, is that followers may now witness the Bappa even if they are unable to offer their prayers in person.
