Every visitor to Lal Baug is guaranteed a sighting from a famous cricketers, Bollywood actor or politician yes it is very annoying while we stand in the line and they get darshan up, close and personal but yea Star Gazing is definitely an added bonus to your darshan.

You get into the NAVSACHI LINE or the MUKH DARSHANACHI LINE, the crowd is immense and standing for hours at a go is given. At times hours stretch to days but Bappa’s bhakt’s and fan’s never loose hope.

9. The King Of Ganpati Pandals:

Yes, he sure is the King of all Pandal’s across the city, he is our Raja and we bow down to him in reverence!

10. Mumbaikar’s Love Ganeshotsav:

Mumbaikar’s are crazy for Ganeshotsav it’s like those 10 days of the year that bind us together. While going to each other’s houses for darshan, invitations are never mandatory, the rush, the traffic and the fanfare while getting Bappa home or on Visarjan day is what we look forward to. We coin up our versions to praise him yes it can get as crazy to the core remember “jalebi, gathiya, fafda – Ganpati bappa Aapda!”
