Mumbai Ganesh Visarjan 2026: Lalbaugcha Raja & Other Idols To Receive Grand Pushpavrushti Tribute By Shroff Building Inspired By Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
Mumbai’s grand Ganesh Visarjan procession has officially begun, and as the city prepares to bid farewell to Bappa, one of Lalbaug’s much-loved traditions has added a special tribute this year. The iconic pushpavrushti spectacle by the Shroff Building Pushpavrushti Utsav Mandal has taken inspiration from the legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj for its 2026 presentation.
Mumbai is preparing for a grand Ganpati immersion procession on Friday, with the revered idol Lalbaugcha Raja embarking on his traditional visarjan journey from Lalbaug to Girgaon Chowpatty. Thousands of devotees are expected to line the streets as the idol makes its way through the city. The procession will be live-streamed on multiple platforms, including the mandal's official YouTube channel, enabling followers to follow the event from their homes.
The Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal has announced that the process will commence at 9 am, with a ceremonial puja at 10 am and the Uttar Puja later in the day. The main immersion procession is set to begin at 12 noon, with the idol reaching the main entrance of the Lalbaug pandal by 1 pm, where a special salute will be given to the Mumbai Police.
The route of the procession includes several key locations, such as Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Road, Bharatmata Cinema, Lalbaug Police Chowky, Shroff Building, Chinchpokli Bridge, Byculla Railway Station, Hindustan Masjid, and Girgaon Chowpatty. Mumbai Police have deployed over 22,000 personnel for the security of the event, along with assistance from the State Reserve Police Force and Central Armed Police Forces.
Quick Response Teams and Bomb Detection and Disposal Squads will also be present at strategic locations to ensure a safe and secure celebration.
