Maharashtra Governor CP Radhakrishnan visited the Lalbaugcha Raja pandal on Saturday, September 14, 2024, to seek the blessings of Lord Ganesh.
Earlier, He performed the puja and aarti for Ganesh Chaturthi at the Governor’s Residence, Jal Bhushan, in Raj Bhavan, Mumbai on Saturday, September 7.
Radhakrishnan, the 21st Governor of Maharashtra, previously served as Governor of Jharkhand for nearly one and a half years and held additional charges as Governor of Telangana and Lt. Governor of Puducherry for brief periods.
Lalbaugcha Raja is one of Mumbai’s most prominent Ganesh pandals, known for its grandeur and the enthusiasm it attracts from both celebrities and the common people. Established in 1934, the pandal, also known as the King of Lalbaug, began with modest beginnings and has evolved into a major attraction over the decades. The main draw is the exquisitely adorned Ganesh idol, which represents prosperity and divine blessings. Devotees often wait for hours, and sometimes days, to seek blessings and participate in the celebrations.
