Quotes
Rajan Dicholkar
President of the Chinchpokli Sarvajanik Utsav Mandal
“The Mandal was established in 1920. It has been 107 years. The speciality of this idol is that it has been sculpted by our artist Siddhesh Dighole. He has crafted a divine idol that is deeply captivating to devotees. This year, the pandal has been designed around the Tirupati Balaji theme by our artist Sachin Panchal following two months of dedicated preparation.”
