Their visit was added to the steady flow of celebrities spotted at Lalbaugcha Raja. Only a few days earlier, Param Sundari co-stars Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra too paid a visit, bowing their heads before the towering idol.

For many in Mumbai, the trip to this historic pandal has become a tradition — the Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal, located in Putlabai Chawl, has been hosting devotees for decades, making it one of the most iconic Ganesh celebrations in the country.

Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayak Chaturthi or Vinayak Chavithi, is a time of faith, festivity, and togetherness. Devotees worship Lord Ganesha as the harbinger of wisdom, prosperity, and fresh beginnings, and as the remover of obstacles. The festival runs for several days, culminating on Anantha Chaturdashi, when beautifully decorated idols are immersed in grand, music-filled processions.

For Anil Kapoor, the darshan was also a moment of pause amid his busy career. On the professional front, he was last seen in Ayan Mukerji’s War 2, alongside Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani and Jr NTR.

As Mumbai continues to celebrate, moments like these — stars mingling with crowds, families offering prayers, and idols being worshipped with devotion — remind us that Ganesh Chaturthi is not just a festival, but an emotion that unites millions.
