In order to offer proper DARSHAN of the Lalbaugcha Raja to its devotees, necessary  arrangements are being made by the Mandal. the Mandal tries to take necessary precautions so that no inconvenience is caused to the devotees. Approximately 1800 residents have been appointed as “SAHAKARI SABHASAD” (Special Volunteers) to help the Mandal in managing the Ganeshotsav. Along with them, a team of about 5000 other volunteers is also ready to help the devotees. A special ‘Disaster Management Training’ is imparted to some volunteers to handle any unforeseen calamity.

Arrangements for Ganeshotsav 2009:

The arrangements for the devotees who wish to make or fulfill a vow to the Lalbaugcha Raja, has been slightly modified this year. This queue viz. NAVAS Line will start from the Om Shanti Construction Bldg. on G.D.Ambekar Marg. It is convenient for the devotees to reach at this place if they will take Currey Road-Bharatmata Theater-Saibaba Marg-G.D.Ambekar Marg route. The nearest Railway stations to reach the NAVAS line are Currey Road on Central Railway, Lower Parel on Western Railway and Cotton Green on Harbour Railway.

The arrangements for other devotees who want to have MUKH DARSHAN of the Lalbaugcha Raja is similar to the arrangements made for Ganeshotsav 2008. The queue for the MUKH DARSHAN will start from Dattaram Lad Marg, Kalachowki. The nearest railway station to reach here is Chinchpokli on Central Railway and Cotton Green on Harbour Railway. The line will enter the Main Pandal through the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Ground (popularly known as GARAM KHADA).
