Maghi Ganeshotsav marks the birth of Lord Ganesh and will be celebrated on January 25. On the eve of Maghi Ganeshotsav, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) informed that permissions received by Ganpati mandals last year will be accepted this year as well.
Sarvajanik (public) pandals are hosting idols of the elephant-headed god variously for one-and-a-half to 10 days, just as they do during Ganeshotsav in Bhadrapad.
