Lalbaug and Chinchpokli in Mumbai are considered sacred places, or "Pandhari," for Ganesha devotees. As September approaches, anticipation for the arrival of Ganaraya intensifies. The Chintamani Mandal in Chinchpokli is one of Mumbai's oldest Ganeshotsav Mandals. Interestingly, the Ganesha idol of Chintamani is revered as "Agamadheesh."
Ganesh Chaturthi celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha. It is one of the most popular Hindu festivals which is celebrated for 10 days. People believed that during this time, Lord Ganesha arrived on Earth with Mother and Goddess Parvati. In Maharashtra, Ganeshotsav will begin on September 7, and visarjan (immersion of Ganesh idol) will be held on September 17, 11 days from the date of Ganpati's arrival.
