Three major Ganesh mandals—Lalbaugcha Raja, Ganeshgallicha Raja and Andhericha Raja—have chosen to design their mandaps to resemble Raigad Fort to commemorate the 350th year of the coronation of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Balasaheb Kamble, president of Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganesh Utsav Mandal, said, “This year marks 350 years since the coronation ceremony of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. That’s why a replica of the Meghdambari [umbrella] at Raigad has been created as well as one of the Nagarkhana Darwaja [main doorway] at the entrance. This is how respect has been paid to Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of Hindu Swarajya.”
