Mumbai's iconic Lalbaugcha Raja traces its roots to 1934, when the closure of Peru Chawl market left fishermen and vendors distressed. They prayed to Lord Ganesha, vowing to honor him with a public celebration if a new market was built. Their wish was fulfilled, and the first idol was installed on 12 September 1934, starting a 91-year tradition.
