Starting with the obvious but the un-missable! The mastodon when it comes to pandals in Mumbai, Lalbaugcha Raja is one of the oldest pandals of the city and is touted to be an icchapurti (wish-fulfilling) Ganesha. From what we’ve heard, some famous personalities and a lot of people from across the country come here to get one look at bappa. The pandal is going to be extravagant but at the same time, eco-friendly. If you’re a fan of dancing during visarjan, Lalbaugcha Raja has the longest procession. It takes almost an entire day for the massive idol to traverse the streets of SoBo, and you can bet it’s going to be an inescapable affair!
