A huge crowd of devotees gathered at Lalbagh to witness the unveiling of the most popular Sarvajanik Ganapati idols in Mumbai. The crowd was overjoyed and greeted with cheers.

In a year where India launched Chandrayaan II and became part of a select group of nations to carry out anti-satellite tests, the theme was fittingly space.

Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, the festival marking the birth of Ganesha will be celebrated on September 3 this year. The 10-day festival is marked with the installation of Ganesha idols privately in homes, or publicly in elaborate pandals.
