Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, along with his family, offered prayers at Mumbai's famous Ganesh Mandal Lalbaugcha Raja on Friday, September 13. The richest industrialist was seen with his son Anant Ambani, daughter-in-law Radhika Merchant, and Shloka Mehta.
News agency ANI shared a video showing the Ambani family joining hands in front of Lord Ganesh on the occasion of Ganeshotsav in Maharashtra. The highly rich family visited the Parel-based Ganpati mandal amid a heavy rush ahead of visarjan on September 17, which is also known as Ananta Chaturdashi.

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."
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.
