Accompanied by Dr Anjali Tendukar and children Sara and Arjun, Sachin Tendulkar offered prayers at Lalbaugcha Raja.
The first look of Mumbai's famous Lalbaugcha Raja was unveiled on Sunday evening, days ahead of the Ganesh Chaturthi festival.
Lalbaugcha Raja, also called Navasacha Ganpati or wish-fulfilling Ganesha, is the most visited Ganesh mandal in Mumbai.
Despite the delay, thousands of devotees, who came to bid farewell to Lalbaugcha Raja, continued to wait at the chowpatty.
A fine of Rs 2,000 has been charged for each pothole, Mumbai's civic body said.
The mandal will not install the Ganesh idol this year, Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal's secretary Sudhir Salvi told reporters. It will organise blood and plasma donation camps and provide financial assistance to the families of policemen who died of COVID-19, he said.
Most popular mandal in Mumbai, Lalbaugcha Raja, takes Rs 51 crore cover.
