Times Utsav Moorti Sanman contest is in its 11th year. Out of 900 man dals in the city, 780 mandals participated this year competing for the title of the Best Ganpati Mandal and Idol. The Times of India's aarti at the Lalbaugcha Raja is super special and be it any star or Mumbaikar, each one aspires to be a part of it. This year our guest was the Queen of Bollywood, Kangana Ranaut. She is not just bold and beautiful, but she is also calm and in control of herself. In her white sari with a gold border, wearing a fresh mogra gajra in her hair and bright red lipstick, she looked every bit a goddess herself. She knew that she was special to get Lalbaugcha Raja Ki Aarti and she enjoyed every moment of it. Talking to us about Ganpati post the aarti, she said, “When I first came to Mumbai in 2005, I was introduced to Lalbaugcha Raja ka Ganpati. People said it was auspicious and I must visit, but at that time, it was way out of my league. There would be long lines and VIP darshan queues that I had no access to. But ever since I have become an actor, I get invited. Anything good that happens in my life is preceded by this darshan. This year too, has been a very special year for me and I am here again. In the aarti, collectively when a thousand people sing in chorus, it's very impactful. You get taken into the environment, feeling so blessed in his presence.“
