The countdown for Mumbai’s favourite festival has begun! A pulsating buzz has draped the island city in orange hues and rhythmic dhol beats. Mumbaikars are gearing up for Bappa’s grand worship, as intricate clay idols firm up to embody the elephant-headed deity. Emerging as one of the most revered festivals of the subcontinent, Ganesh Chaturthi is a ten-day event celebrating the birth of Ganesha – the Hindu god of prosperity and wisdom.

It's that time of the year when Mumbai truly comes alive, adorned with splendid decorations, vibrant processions, and an atmosphere thick with devotion. As the city prepares for the joyous occasion, it’s time for people to flock to legacy markets and score the best finds for Ganpati decoration. The checklist is wide and endowed with a myriad of décor items, ranging from Ganesha idols, garlands, lamps, and curtains to Rangoli colours and beyond.
