In a gesture of devotion and generosity, Anant Ambani and Reliance Foundation have gifted a stunning 20-kg gold crown to Mumbai’s revered Lalbaugcha Raja, the centerpiece of the city’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. The unveiling of the first look of the idol on September 5th revealed the magnificent crown adorning Lord Ganesha, adding a touch of regal splendor to the already majestic figure. This grand gesture by Anant Ambani reflects a deep-rooted connection with Lalbaugcha Raja, a relationship spanning over 15 years.
Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son has consistently participated in the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, going beyond mere appearances. He actively contributes to various initiatives of the Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal. A notable example is his donation of 24 dialysis machines during the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating his commitment to supporting the community. His presence at the Mandal’s events, including the immersion ceremony at Girgaon Chowpatty Beach, further underscores his dedication.
The strong bond between Anant Ambani and Lalbaugcha Raja has been formalized with his honorary membership to the Mandal. He has also been appointed as an executive advisor to the Lalbaugcha Raja Committee, showcasing the deep connection between Reliance Foundation and the deity.
The Lalbaugcha Raja Ganeshotsav Mandal, established in 1934, is renowned for its magnificent Ganesh idol, known as Lalbaugcha Raja. The Kambli family, entrusted with the care of the idol for over eight decades, unveiled the majestic figure on September 5th, marking the commencement of the 10-day Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, starting on September 7th.
This year, the festivities will continue until September 17th, with thousands of devotees expected to visit Lalbaugcha Raja for darshan. The iconic idol is a symbol of faith and devotion, drawing people from all walks of life to seek blessings and celebrate the spirit of Ganesh Chaturthi.
