The Story in Brief
On August 8, large crowds welcomed grand Ganesh idols in processions across Mumbai, marking the start of Ganeshotsav Aagman 2026. The unmistakable sound of dhol-tasha and devotional chants filled the air as devotees gathered to catch a glimpse of Bappa. Borivalicha Maharaja, Parelcha Vighnaharta, and idols from Jalgaon and Kolhapur were among those brought in.
Raja Badam Gallicha from Jalgaon, Mira Bhayandar Cha Lambodar, and Kolhapurcha Chintamani also arrived, drawing devotees to the streets. Ganesh Chaturthi falls on September 14 this year. The Aagman celebrations are expected to intensify in the coming weeks as the city prepares for its biggest annual festival.
The Indian Opinion
The Aagman processions of Borivalicha Maharaja and others celebrate faith with grand spectacles. Critics often highlight noise and congestion, but these events also boost local businesses and strengthen community bonds. The real test will be whether civic authorities can manage the 10-day festival with minimal disruption while respecting devotion.
