Don't Miss! Mumbai's Most Famous Ganpatis

They're tall.

They're magnificent.

They reside, for 10 days, in grand pandals, each with their own unique theme.

Thousands of devotees visit them every day.

And Lord Ganesha has time of every one of them.

Over the decades, visiting these different Ganeshas across the city has become a tradition of sorts for Mumbaikars.

Here are some of the more famous Lord Ganpatis that visit the city annually.

You can take a look at Lalbaugcha Raja here and the GSB Ganpati, considered to be the richest mandal in the city, here.
