The 93rd edition of Lalbaugcha Raja Ganeshotsav is set to take place from September 14 to September 25, 2026. Devotees have the choice between Mukh Darshan and the lengthy Charan Sparsh/Navsachi line. While Mukh Darshan tends to be quicker, the Charan Sparsh line can result in several hours of waiting, sometimes even an entire day.
Peak times during weekends, evenings, and the final days of the festival often lead to much longer queues. To dodge the rush, it is advisable to visit on weekdays in the morning. General darshan usually starts around 5 AM, with Mukh Darshan and Charan Sparsh queues typically opening around 6 AM, though these timings may vary based on crowd management. It is wise to steer clear of Saturday and Sunday evenings, as these tend to be the busiest times.
