Lalbaugcha Raja, the iconic “King of Lalbaug” Ganpati idol in Mumbai, is celebrated throughout Ganeshotsav and holds a legendary status for fulfilling devotees’ wishes. In 2025, the festival marks its 92nd year, with the idol majestically adorned in a palatial setup—dressed in maroon robes, decked with ornaments, and placed in an ornate golden mandap.
