In advance of Ganesh Chaturthi, the much anticipated first glimpse of Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja was shown on Thursday. When devotees caught a sight of the bappa in his maroon outfit, they were mesmerised. The most popular Ganesh mandal in India’s financial centre is Lalbaugcha Raja, also known as the “King of Lalbaug,” and it is situated in Putlabai Chawl. Every year, thousands of Mumbaikars, from commoners to superstars, wait in huge lines at Lalbaug to catch a glimpse of the legendary idol.
