History and Significance of Chinchpoklicha Raja

The first Chinchpokli cha Chintamani was placed in 1920 by a group that consisted of 20-25 men. Inspired by the freedom struggle that was followed in India then, some young members initiated the Chinchpokli Utsav Mandal. The second Sarvajanik Utsav Mandal in Mumbai was established for carrying out social work and healthcare activities. The early versions of the Ganpati idol at Chinchpokli stood about two to three feet high. Since then, the Ganpati pandal has gained immense popularity among devotees who arrive in large numbers to worship Lord Ganesha. The recent Chintamani idol that stands 23 feet high is proof of its popularity and grandeur. Chinchpokli Cha Chintamani Aagman Sohala 2022 Date, Time & Live Streaming Online: Watch First Look of Chinchpoklicha Chintamani for Ganesh Chaturthi
