One social media user shared a video from inside the pandal, captioning, "Watching this video of Ganpati actually makes one feel ashamed. People who have bowed their heads in devotion are being thrown by holding their necks. And the so-called VIPs are getting their selfies clicked with their backs towards Ganpati. Know this. God is watching everything."

गणपति का यह वीडियो देख एक्चुअली शर्म आती है। भक्ति में शीश झुकाए लोगों की गर्दन पकड़ पकड़ के फेंका जा रहा है। और कथित VIP गणपति की ओर पीठ किए सेल्फ़ी खिचवा रहे हैं। जान लीजिए। भगवन सब देख रहे हैं। pic.twitter.com/E3LwOHUeXR

Lalbaugcha Raja is one of the most visited Pandals in Mumbai. However, people stand in queue for hours to get one glimpse of Raja, while VIPs get direct entry to see the Ganesh idol. On the other hand, common people are also seen being manhandled by the security and volunteers of Lalbaugcha Raja. 

This is not the first time; every year such videos go viral on social media. Still, devotees with full faith visit pandals to seek blessings from one of the most prestigious Lalbaugcha Raja.
