Lalbaugcha Raja 2026 Invitation Features a 3D Bappa
Lalbaugcha Raja is preparing for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai in 2026.
The organizers have made a special invitation for important guests.
It is not a normal flat card because it comes in a box.
Inside it is a three-dimensional figure of Bappa sitting in the center.
The card also shows information about the festival.
This year’s celebration is expected to be the mandal’s 93rd Ganeshotsav.
The pandal will have a silver-themed design and an entrance inspired by the Meenakshi Temple.
Devotees may face longer lines during busy times, especially for Charan Sparsh.
Lalbaugcha Raja’s 2026 invitation for dignitaries features a box-shaped design with a three-dimensional idol.
The invitation includes Ganeshotsav details behind the seated idol and is designed as a keepsake.
The mandal is celebrating its 93rd Ganeshotsav from September 14 to September 25.
The 2026 pandal features a silver-themed darbar and an entrance inspired by Mumbai’s Meenakshi Temple.
General darshan reportedly begins around 5 AM, while Mukh Darshan and Charan Sparsh queues generally open around 6 AM.
