The 12ft tall idol will be unveiled at the opening day of the 10-day festival of Ganesh Chathurthi (falling on 19 to 28 September). The mandal was first started in 1934, when the Ganpati was established in a fisherman’s attire. Since then, every year unveils a new avatar. We spoke to Shri Balasaheb Sudam Kamble, president of the Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganesh Utsav Mandal, for details on timings, queues, procession routes and other arrangements.
Lalbaughcha Raja darshan and queue timings
Depending on how close you want to be to the Lord, the mandal offers both Mukh Darshan and Navas Charan-Sparsh Darshan.
Mukh Darshan: Get in this queue for a quick look at the idol from a distance. The wait time for this sneak peek alone can range from six to seven hours.
Navas or Charan-Sparsh Darshan: This queue is for devotees who'd like to touch the idol's feet for blessings. Being the more popular darshan among visitors, the wait time for this one usually ranges from 12-15 hours.
This year, the Mukh Darshan and Navas Charan-Sparsh Darshan begin with an aarti at 4am on 19 September 2023. Darshan will remain open round-the-clock till visarjan day, which falls on 28 September 2023.
Security and other arrangements at Lalbaugcha Raja
There are strict security and crowd-management measures in place for Lalbaughcha Raja.
Over 250 CCTV cameras have been installed on premises.
Apart from police personnel, 3,500-4,000 trained volunteers will be stationed across the pandal. The volunteers have been divided into various departments with various responsibilities including manning the entry points, queues, housekeeping, looking after the shoes, and the PA system. Fire fighters have also been onboarded for emergent cases.
Both the queues and mandal are sufficiently ventilated. The queues for Charan Sparsh are equipped with purified drinking water, tea and coffee along with food such as pulao and khichdi–all free of charge.

Jagannath Puri Rath Yatra History
Ratha Yatra is the most popular and anticipated festival of the year in Odisha and means the festival (yatra) of the chariots (ratha).
The observance of the Ratha Yatra of Jagannath dates back to the twelfth century. Descriptions of the festival can be found in key Hindu texts such as Brahma Purana, Padma Purana and Skanda Purana.
Jagannath literally means 'Lord of the Universe' and is a deity worshipped in regional traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism in India and Bangladesh. Jagannath is considered a form of Vishnu by Hindus.
The idols of Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra are usually worshipped in the sanctum of the Jagannath temple, but once a year during the month of Ashadha, they are brought out to travel three kilometres to the Gundicha Temple, in three huge chariots, drawn by hundreds of people.
In the past, it was not unknown for people to throw themselves under the wheels of the chariots to attain salvation.The chariot for Jagannath is 14 metres (45 feet) high and 11 metres (35 feet) square. It takes about two months to construct. The artists and painters of Puri decorate the chariots in bright colours with religious motifs. The chariot of Jagannath is the etymological origin of the English word 'juggernaut'.
The chariots stay in the Gundicha Temple for a week before being brought back to the Jagannath Temple via the Mausi Maa Temple, where the deities are ceremoniously offered poda pitha, a kind of baked cake which is usually only eaten by the poorest in society.
Needless to say, the city of Puri grinds to a standstill on Ratha Yatra and a week later on the return journey.
Other Ratha Yatra festivals take place in other parts of India and also in Bangladesh, but Puri remains the oldest and grandest. Since the late 1960s, Ratha Yatra festivals have taken place in many cities across the globe, due to the promotion by the Hare Krishna movement.
The popularity of this Hindu festival is bolstered by followers of other religions who participate to get the blessings of Lord Jagannath.
Rath Yatra Celebration in Jagannath Puri
Three huge colourfully decorated chariots, which resemble the temple structures, are drawn through Puri's streets. This festival commemorates Lord Jagannath, Balarama, and sister Subhadra's annual journey to Gundicha Temple, their aunt's temple, located two kilometres away from their temple. Non-Hindus and foreigners usually don't get to enter the temple premises on usual days, but on these days, the other devotees get an opportunity to see the deities.
During the festival, millions of devotees, not only from India, but from all over the World, come to Puri to help pulling the Lords' chariot, which is considered as a pious deed. During this huge procession, devotional songs are played on the chariots with tambourines, drums, trumpets and many more instruments. The carts are approximately 45 feet (14 metres) high. Thousands of pilgrims pull these chariots, which are newly built each year from a particular tree. This festival is broadcasted live on several Indian and foreign television channels.
This festival has various names like Ghosa Jatra, Gundicha Jatra, Dasavatara Jatra, Navadina Jatra and many more. The ritual of Jatra, which mean a journey or travel, is very essential for Hindus to worship. In south the temple's representative deities are popularly called as Utsava Murti and in Orissa they are known as Bije Pratima or Chalanti Pratima. The Jatra takes place in two forms- One involves short circumbulation that has to be around the temple and other involves a journey longer from the location of the temple to another destination. Jatras are considered very important and sacred for every festival and ceremony. Jagannatha Rath Yatra is one of the most unique and grandest festivals compared to other Jatras.
Famous Oriya songs are sung during the festival which says that the wheels, the grand avenue and the chariots become one on this occasion with Lord Jagannatha. People wait for the Jatra for the whole year in order to get just one glimpse of Lord Jagannatha.
