Ganesh Chaturthi: A look at Mumbai's most famous idols this year
Come September and the entire country gets under the spell of Lord Ganesh on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi. Every street and lane gets filled with the chants of Ganpati Bappa Maurya creating an aura of spirituality, but the chaturthi celebration in Mumbai is an experience of a lifetime.
The city gets busy in the preparations months before and, on the melodious beats of dhol, Lord Ganesha’s idols are brought into almost every house in Mumbai. There are huge pandals and mandals, displaying extravagant themes and mammoth idols of Ganesh.

On that note, let’s have a look at some of the most famous Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai.
The festival is celebrated on the fourth day after the new moon of the Hindu month of Bhadrapada. This year, Ganesh Chaturthi will begin on August 22 2020, and will extend over eleven days, with the last day falling on the auspicious day of Anant Chaturdashi.
Celebrated in the honour of the beloved Lord Ganesha, Ganesh Chaturthi is also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, is one of the most important festivals for the Hindus. It mainly involves the worshipping of an idol of Lord Ganesha in a temple or pandal, and at the end of the festival, the idol is immersed in water, in a process known as visarjan.

Though it’s a Hindu festival which is celebrated all over the country, certain areas and regions are more pompous in terms of celebrations. The most extravagant and elaborate ceremonies take place in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka.

Though the Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai is celebrated with much grandeur in many parts of the country, nothing, however, comes close to the enthusiasm and the grand scale of events that takes place in Mumbai. The festival was initially introduced by the Maratha ruler Shivaji Raje in his days; however, it was the freedom fighter Lokmanya Tilak who provided the impetus to make this into a public event.

The motive behind this was gathered people of all faiths to unite against the British rule. Serving its purpose, it went on to become one of Mumbai’s grandest festivals celebrated by everyone regardless of their faiths.
The local communities take much pride in organising the event and have healthy competition to outdo one another every year. Numerous communities organise their events across Mumbai on both small and large scales with more than 1, 50,000 Ganesh Visarjan happening each year. But some events surpass even the large scale and have become an institution where every year crores of devotees flock to see the idols.

There are five famous Ganesh Mandals that witness more than a million devotees each day, growing more every year. Thus Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai witnesses the grandest celebration of the elephant deity as compared to any other state or region in India.
