Mumbai seems to be back on track as people across the city are excited and throng various Puja pandals. Mumbai is holding Ganesh Chaturthi at the usual mammoth level after a gap of two-years due to COVID pandemic. All the Ganesha Puja pandals have been decked up. Those who will be observing the Vinayak Chaturthi for one, three,vand five days have also organised puja as per rituals at their respective homes.

In Mumbai, the biggest attraction offcourse remains the oldest and most popular Lalbaugcha Raja Ganesh pandal. People in large numbers will throng the pandal in the next nine days that would include eminent names across political, film, and other fraternity.
