When Ganesh Chaturthi begins in Mumbai, one name dominates the devotion and celebration: Lalbaugcha Raja, fondly called the King of Lalbaug. This legendary idol, installed every year since 1934, is more than just a Ganpati murti; it’s a symbol of Mumbai’s faith and unity. On Wednesday, August 27, 2025, the grand darshan has officially begun, drawing lakhs of devotees from across India and abroad.
