Lalbaugcha Raja’s fervour building up

SEP 12

Lord Lalbaugcha Raja
As the entire Maharashtra has been set to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi or Vinayaka Chaturthi Festival from Saturday, the famous Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal has made special arrangements for the devotees.
This year devotees will offer prayers to City’s famous Lord Ganesha’s idol in air condition facilities.
Lalbaugcha Raja is Mumbai’s famous Ganesha idol and large number of crowd turns out for darshan (Worship) during the 10-day long Ganesh Mahotsav. It is expected that around six lakh people will visit the Lalbaugcha Raja idol each day.
According to the sources, a devotee will have to wait 10 hrs to reach the idol. The queue is expected to eight-km long from the pandal.
The Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal is famous for its innovative idea every year.
The Madal has prepared a massive float for Lalbaugcha Raja’s immersion ceremony. The massive float will help the immersion of Lalbaugcha Raja in deep sea.
On the other hand, thick security arrangements have been made in the wake of possible terror threat. The Mumbai Police has deployed around 1500 policemen while the Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal has its own 5000 guards.

These Ganpatis have boarding passes

SEP 8
Posted by 
In a narrow bylane of Central Mumbai, Vasant Waikar gives the finishing touches to a Ganpati idol. A yellow dhoti, filigree necklaces, this is not a Ganeshawho is splendour-shy.
There is no boarding pass, but the idol will soon fly to America, one of many that are being ordered by homesick Maharashtrians who miss the Ganpati Bappa Morya fervour that is a proud ritual for this time of year in Mumbai.
Lalbaugh Cha Raja – or the King of Lalbaugh – is one of Mumbai’s oldest and largest community celebrations. It owes its name to its origin – Lalbaugh is a colony which is home to idol-makers.
Over the years, the demand from NRIs in Singapore, US and Britain for Lalbaugh Cha Raja has been steadily expanding. The idols themselves have not. They are never taller than two feet and are made of plaster of Paris – ensuring that they travel light. The prices vary from Rs. 3000 to Rs. 7000.
 
And while they are never created without the modest mouse that legend has them riding, it’s now jets that are really allowing them to get around.

1,500 cops to guard Lalbaugcha Raja

SEP 8
Posted by 
The city’s most popular Ganeshidol, Lalbaugcha Raja, will get a massive security cover this year. Security requirement at this Parel mandal has doubled this year as its popularity has increased. The Mumbai police are going to deploy a massive contingent of more than 1,500 personnel round-the-clock for the security of the devotees.  
Police sources said the total number of personnel deployed at Lalbaugcha Raja (including the mandal’s private security) will be between 4,500 and 5,000.
The police expect at least six lakh devotees to visit the pandal on any day. The deployment is likely to increase by a couple of hundreds on Saturday, the first day.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations) R.M. Vhatkar told Hindustan Times that security at the Lalbaugcha Raja has been given maximum priority keeping in mind the crowd and the security risk it faces.
He said while the police will ensure maximum deployment, mandals have been asked to rope in volunteers and private security personnel.
This year, the police estimate the queue of devotees to be 8-km long in both directions leading to the pandal. One will have to wait for at least 10 hours to reach the idol.
For the convenience of devotees, the police have asked the mandal to break the linear queues with zebra barricades at two points.
The organisers will put up sheds at these and serve refreshments to devotes. Vhatkar said the city’s security needs have also increased this festive season because of a nation-wide alert. More than 17,000 policemen will be deployed all over the city throughout the 10-day celebrations.
Organisers have been instructed to keep vehicle parking spots at a safe distance from the venue. The sniffer dog attached to the bomb squad will conduct periodic checks at all the parking spots, while Quick Response Team commandos and strike mobile vans will be deployed at all sensitive spots.
All mandals have also been asked to put up close circuit television systems at their venues and monitor the crowd from control rooms.
