Among the pandals that had an inauguration ceremony was the Andheri cha Raja ar Azad Nagar, Veera Desai Road. This pandal, which is in its 59th year, immerses the Sankashti day after the festival and not on the tenth day of the festival.
The pandal has announced a dress code for visitors. Devotees have been asked not to enter the pandal in shorts and skirts. "We have this dress code for the last 15 years, but we will reinforce it this year. The idea is to send across a message across the city and country that we should follow our dressing traditions while visiting temples and other religious place," said Uday Salian from the mandal.
