Lalbaugcha Raja Donation Counting Begins with Diverse Offerings During Ganeshotsav
The donation box at Mumbai's Lalbaugcha Raja was opened a day after Ganeshotsav began, revealing offerings including Indian currency, dollars, gold chains, and wooden bats. A team comprising Bank of Maharashtra staff, BMC personnel, and mandal members began counting the donations, which will be deposited in the bank. The funds collected during the ten-day festival support the mandal's healthcare, education, and welfare initiatives such as a dialysis centre, patient scheme, computer centre, library, and book bank. The gold and valuables are yet to be assessed.
