MUMBAI: ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ is not just a familiar call that reverberates with drums and faith in Mumbai every festive season, but a powerful propeller that drives Mumbaikars from all walks of life. HISTORY TV18 will take you to a Mumbai celebrating its lord with MUMBAI CITY OF GANESHA on 28 Jan, 2019 on 9 PM.

The exclusive film captures the mammoth scale and spread of Mumbai’s biggest ten day festival – Ganesh utsav. The processions through the streets of Mumbai on the final day of ‘Visarjan’ are the perfect representation of what Ganapati means to the city - how it draws people together, allows them to celebrate with abandon, regardless of caste, creed, age or background.

Devdutt Pattanaik noted mythology expert delves into the legends around Ganesha and how he is represented in popular culture in the most versatile ways, as a relatable God, loved by all.

This special also captures stars like Deepika Padukone and the Bachchans to icons like Sachin Tendulkar and some big business tycoons, all turning to India’s ‘smart mandir’ – Siddhivinayak. They all stand in front of the resident deity, Lord Ganesha – Mumbai’s favourite God – and bow their heads in hope and gratitude.
