As the traditional festival returns this year after being postponed for two years owing to the Covid-19 outbreak, the Lalbaugcha Raja Ganeshostsav Mandal is prepared to celebrate in the usual fashion. The organisers are prepared to go to any lengths to ensure that this year's festivities live up to the lofty standards set by past years, for which they expect lengthy lines of worshippers stretching for kilometres.

Millions of worshippers, including public figures, attend the pandal annually. There are typically between 80,000 and 1 lakh visitors every day during Ganeshotsav, with the weekend seeing an exponential increase in foot traffic.
