Vinayak Chaturthi is also known as Vinayak Chavithi. It is a festival that symbolizes new beginnings. It marks the worship of Lord Ganesha, the destroyer of obstacles, who is worshiped before auspicious work. Devotees in the country and abroad celebrate his wisdom and intelligence with decorated homes and pandals, prayers, music, and vibrant processions.
Earlier, a huge crowd of devotees gathered at the Shree Siddhivinayak Ganpati Temple in Mumbai to offer prayers on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi. For this festival, people bring idols of Lord Ganesha to their homes. They observe fasts and prepare delicious dishes. Pandals are decorated during this festival. In this festival celebrated across the country, lakhs of devotees gather in temples and mandals to seek the blessings of Lord Ganesha.
The first look of Mumbai's famous Lalbaugcha Raja was released on Sunday. Lalbaugcha Raja, created with unmatched artistry, is not just an idol; it is much more than that. It is a symbol of collective faith, artistic mastery, and the vibrant spirit of Mumbai. Every year, lakhs of devotees come here for darshan.
