About Lalbaugcha Raja
Lalbaugcha Raja is one of Mumbai¡¯s most celebrated Ganesh pandals, renowned for its grandeur and the fervor it attracts from celebrities and commoners alike. Every year, thousands gather to pay their respects and witness the elaborate celebrations.
The Lalbaugcha Raja, also known as the King of Lalbaug, has been a significant part of Mumbai¡¯s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations for almost 100 years. Established in 1934, this Ganesh pandal began with humble beginnings but has since grown into a massive spectacle. The main attraction is the beautifully adorned Ganesh idol, which stands as a symbol of prosperity and blessings. Devotees line up for hours, sometimes even days, to catch a glimpse of the idol and offer their prayers.
The cost of setting up the pandal and the Ganesh idol can reach up to ?1 crore (about $1.2 million) each year, according to reports by Mumbai Mirror. This includes expenses for decoration, security, and the massive infrastructure needed to accommodate the throngs of visitors.
Following their spiritual visit, Shilpa Shetty indulged in a delicious South Indian thali at ITC Grand Central in Mumbai. She took to her Instagram stories to share her experience, expressing her delight at enjoying a hearty meal. Take a look:
