For the first time ever, the Lalbaugcha Raja celebrations will be livestreamed, featuring soulful performances by Rahul Vaidya, Sayli Kamble, and Chaitanya Devadhe, and culminating in the grand aarti — a spiritual crescendo that has, for decades, been one of Mumbai’s most cherished moments during Ganeshotsav. The livestream will also feature an expert host who will share the significance of each darshan, adding depth and context to the experience. In an exclusive chat, Rahul Vaidya shared his excitement on being a part of such a grand celebration, his bhakti for Bappa and more.

Rahul on his experience of singing at Lalbaugcha Raja

Rahul Vaidya got candid about sharing his experience of being a part of the concert at Lalbaug for the first time. He said, "It is beyond special, to be very honest. It is beyond expression. In the history of Lalbaug, there has never been a performance there. And the first time this happens, I am the chosen one. I don`t think I can ask for anything better and bigger, right? And how on earth can a Ganesh bhakt, so other than being a singer, performer, you know, I`m a big Ganesh devotee also since childhood. So I think, just to get this opportunity is just too special."

Rahul further shared how he celebrates the festival at home by welcoming Bappa for five days, "I have five days of Ganpati every year. And this year also, it`s going to be the same. We have the most special five days whenever there is energy at home. The excitement just doesn`t come down. There are people coming to take darshan. And we`re all very, very happy. Family members come in, friends and family come home. But there is a difference between others and me. I don`t make it an event. I keep it very, very authentic. I don`t have too much taam jhaam. I have very basic, very authentic things around it. So that`s the difference."
