Lalbaugcha Raja is one of the most visited pandal in Mumbai during the Ganeshotsav festival

Every year, lakhs of devotees throng the Lalbaug to offer prayers to the Lalbaugcha Raja idol dueing the 10-day festival

This year we will be making Raigad fort to mark the 350th coronation anniversary, and it will be the last decor designed by late Nitin Desai for our pandal

As this year marks the 350th anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s coronation, Lalbaugcha Raja mandal is replicating Raigad Fort

Earlier, on June 7, the Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal performed Padya Pujan ceremony of Lalbaugcha Raja idol

This year, the mandal will be celebrating 90th year of Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal
