Mumbaikars today welcomed their most beloved and venerated deity –Lord Ganesh–into their homes and community pandals, kickstarting the ten-day Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations with zeal and devotion.
The festival commenced with devotees installing colorfully-crafted idols of Ganesh, known as the Lord of Good Fortune and Destroyer of Obstacles in their homes and beautifully decorated pandals across the city with full customs and rituals.
Thousands of devotees thronged to the famous Siddhivinayak Temple at Prabhadevi in South Mumbai to participate in the ‘aarti’ and seek Ganesha’s blessings amid chants of “Ganpati bappa morya” .
mandals like Lalbaugcha Raja+GSB Seva Mandal in Kings circle+Wadala GSB Mandal + Ganesh Galli Ganpati are some of the other famous venues in Mumbai, where people queue up in huge numbers for worship.
Meanwhile, authorities have made stringent security arrangements across the city to prevent any untoward incident during the festivities.
