Devotees get in an idol of Lord Ganesha and worship them for a specific number of days. Along with household celebrations, there are also many places where the festival of Ganpati is held on a public platform. Among the public celebrations of Ganeshotsav, the Lalbaughcha Raja in Mumbai is very famous. And it is not just about the idol of the Lord, but also the decorations that are very pleasing.

Chandrayaan 2 is one of the most prominent achievements of the country. And Ganpati decorations see a lot of themes, from social relevance issues to unique designs. But interestingly, the idea of India's lunar mission as a theme was thought even before the launch. Nitin Desai, the art director said he had thought of this celestial theme last year itself. Talking about the designing he told in a TOI report, "We have very little space to work with given that the pandal is located inside a busy market. But we have crafted the entire galaxy, spaceship and moving astronauts. Ganeshotsav begins September 2 and Chandrayaan will land September 7, so we have shown how Ganpati is already present to welcome the lunar module." He also added that it was ideal to show the raja (king) in this theme instead of making a royal darbar after the ravaged situation in the state due to floods.
