Hosted by the Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal at Putlabai Chawl, the pandal draws lakhs of devotees each year.
The 10-day Ganeshotsav began on August 27, with Ganesh Chaturthi—also known as Vinayak Chaturthi or Vinayak Chavithi—celebrating Lord Ganesha, the deity of new beginnings and remover of obstacles. The festival concludes on Anant Chaturdashi and is marked by decorated homes and pandals, devotional prayers, music, and vibrant processions.
