The wait is almost over for Mumbaikars! The much-awaited Chinchpokli Cha Chintamani Aagman Sohala has been scheduled for Sunday, August 17, marking the grand arrival of one of Mumbai’s most iconic Ganesha idols.

Every year, lakhs of devotees flock to Chinchpokli to catch the first glimpse of their beloved ‘Chintamani’, whose majestic arrival is nothing short of a visual and spiritual spectacle.

Speaking to mid-day.com, Siddesh Dighole, the man behind the idol, revealed that this year’s Chinchpokli Cha Chintamani is themed on Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, with the idol seated on a throne reflecting the royal Maratha grandeur. The striking murti stands tall at around 21 to 22 foot.
