Lalbaugcha Raja or ‘King of Lalbaug’, located in Putlabai Chawl, is a well-known and most visited Ganesh idol in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Every year, lakhs of devotees throng to the Lalbaugh market to visit the Lalbaugcha Raja. Considering the pandemic, all restrictions and precautions have been in place.
The Lalbaugcha Raja Ganeshostsav Mandal is all set to celebrate the festival the traditional way this year after the Covid-19 pandemic threw a spanner in their works last year. Although muted – a shorter idol, no kilometre-long queues of devotees – the organisers aim to stop at nothing to make the celebrations as grand as the previous years.
The mandal unveiled the first look of this year’s idol on Friday. The four-feet tall idol is in Lord Vishnu avatar. Check video:

The 11-day festival will commence on September 10. Through a tweet, the mandal informed that the first glance of Lalbaugcha Raja 2021 can be viewed live on their official YouTube, Facebook and Website on Friday, September 10 at 10:30 am.
The Lalbaugcha Raja organisers have installed a four-feet-tall idol of Lord Ganesha in keeping with the government guidelines instead of their trademark 15-feet-tall idol.
