Lal Bagcha Raja (Marathi: लालबागचा राजा, meaning: The King of Lalbaug) is the most famous Sarvajanik Ganapati kept at Lalbaug, a prominent locality in Mumbai during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. The idol is kept for public display for 11 days; thereafter it is immersed on the auspicious day of Anant Chaturdashi.
It is believed that this idol of Lord Ganesha is Navsacha Ganpati (Marathi: नवसाचा गणपती) (which means the “one who fulfills all wishes”) and hence over 1.5 million people visit this Ganesh Pandal daily during the 10-day Ganesha festival.[1]
In 2018, the Lalbaugcha Raja Ganpati entered 84 years.
