Watch: Massive Turnout At Chinchpokli Cha Chintamani Aagman; Devotees Seen Falling Over Each Other As Bappa Begins Journey To Mandap - Video

Mumbai's eagerly anticipated Chinchpokli Cha Chintamani Aagman procession kicked off on Saturday from the Central Railway Workshop Ground in Parel, drawing a massive throng of devotees. As Bappa embarked on his journey to the mandap, videos revealed a sea of zealous followers welcoming him with open arms. A popular video shared online depicts hundreds of devotees crashing into each other as they followed the procession.

Along the route, onlookers snapped photos of Bappa with their smartphones. The live streaming of the event was made possible for those unable to attend in person or overwhelmed by the large crowds. The Chinchpokli Cha Chintamani Mandal unveiled a stunning Ganesh idol this year, drawing inspiration from Lord Venkateswara (Sri Tirupati Balaji) and quickly gaining attention on social media.

In response to the overwhelming attendance, security along the procession route, particularly around Kalachowki Signal and the Lalbaug-Parel stretch, has been heightened. Prior to the event, over 800 to 1,000 police personnel were stationed in the area, ready to maintain order.
