Girgaon Chowpatty is one of the most popular locations for Ganesh visarjan. All the main roads are blocked on the day of visarjan as thousands of people block the road while they sing and dance in the processions behind their ganpati 'mandals'.

Powai lake, Powai

Powai lake is located in te posh area of Hiranandani and Ganpati visarjan at this lake is not as crowded at that of Girgaon and Juhu since very few 'mandals' and people come here for visarjan. People who do not enjoy large crows can visit Powai lake to witness visarjans.
