Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai: What Should First-Time Visitors Know? traveljunky.in

Ganesh Chaturthi is the season when Mumbaikars see a different Mumbai. The square is filled with music, streets lined with beautiful decorations and colourful pandals. People from far and wide, all over the city come to welcome lord Ganesha. These are the places that basically wake up at this time of year: Lalbaug, Girgaon and Prabhadevi. Ganesh Chaturti in Mumbai is fun yet slightly frightening. Crowds everywhere, closed roads, queues that do not advance and full streets. That's just part of it. But make even a little and you won't feel like you're drowning in it.
