In Mumbai, around 15,000 police personnel, along with senior officials, have been deployed to ensure security during the 10-day festival.
Bright and colourful lights have already illuminated streets and alleys in Lalbaug, Parel, Girgaon, Andheri, Chembur, Fort and other areas of Mumbai that are home to the famous Ganapati mandalas, PTI reported.
Hundreds of thousands of devotees visit some of the most popular pandals, such as the ‘Lalbaugcha Raja’, during the festival. Other well-known mandals in the area include Chinchpokli, Ganesh Gully and Tejukaya.
The Matunga-based GSB Seva Mandal, known for its gold-adorned Ganesha figure, is considered to be one of the richest mandals. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday urged people to celebrate the Ganesh festival in an eco-friendly manner.
In a statement on the eve of the ten-day festivities, Shinde expressed hope that the elephant-headed lord would shower blessings on all.
The heritage and culture of Maharashtra is showcased during this festival, he said, and appealed to the people to preserve its legacy. He also asked Ganesh devotees to extend help to the needy and underprivileged sections of the society.
Meanwhile, the BMC has asked people to be careful of stings from rays and jellyfish during idol immersions for the Ganesh festival. Hundreds of large idols are immersed in the Arabian Sea.
Large numbers of harmful fish that can sting Ganesh devotees have been found during immersion in a “test fishing” conducted by the Fisheries Department of the Maharashtra government, according to a BMC statement.
The net fishing trial was conducted off the coast of Girgaon and Dadar and fishes like Dhomi, Kolambi, Shingti, Blue Jelly Fish, Ghoda Masa, Chhote Ravas etc. were found along with jellyfish and rays, the BMC said. Citizens should take precautions while diving in Ganapati, the BMC said.
