Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has established 383 artificial immersion ponds across the city for Ganeshotsav 2026 to minimize the impact on natural water bodies. The civic body has released a ward-wise list of these ponds for easy access by Mumbaikars. The artificial ponds are designed to accommodate household Ganesh idols up to six feet in height and cater to the majority of worshippers.
In addition to the artificial ponds, the BMC has also prepared major natural immersion locations such as Girgaon Chowpatty, Dadar Chowpatty, Juhu Beach, and Powai Lake for the festival. The mayor, Ritu Tawde, and deputy mayor, Sanjay Ghadi, inspected various immersion facilities to ensure smooth proceedings. The authorities have also arranged necessary logistics, including rafts, drinking water, lifeguards, and mobile toilets, along with free cranes for larger idols.
The BMC is actively monitoring the situation, coordinating with police and other agencies to manage crowds, traffic, and safety during the 10-day festival.
