There are many offerings to Lord Ganesh at the pandals, and most include flowers, sweets and money. But a Ganesh mandal in Goregaon has decided not to allow these offerings, instead, school stationery is being sought. The stationery will be given to students from BPL families in Goregaon. The mandal will also buy and add to the donations any particular item which falls short.

Shastri Nagar Sarvajanik Shree Ganesh Utsav Mandal in Goregaon West, is one of the oldest Ganpati mandals in the suburbs, which has been celebrating Ganeshotsav by undertaking several social initiatives.
