GSB Wadala s 18 inch idol
MUMBAI: Preparations are afoot to celebrate the festival of Lord Ganesh s birth or Maghi Ganeshotsav which falls Monday, February 15.
Aside from mandals which regularly install idols this time of year, a clutch of mainstream mandals which could not organise Bhadrapad Ganeshotsav 2020 amid the Covid-19 lockdown are also planning short celebrations. The number of households and mandals who will celebrate Maghi will rise this year as they seek to make up for the cancellation of Ganeshotsav last August-September, said Naresh Dahibawkar, chairman of the Brihanmumbai Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Samanvay Samiti.
As with previous festivals like Christmas, the guidelines from the state government arrived as late as February 9, by which time the mandals had already made their plans.
