Ganesh Idols Collapse in Mumbai Suburbs During Ganeshotsav 2026 Processions
During Ganeshotsav 2026, two incidents involving Ganesh idols occurred in Mumbai suburbs. In Kurla West, a 15-foot idol collapsed after its trolley hit a pothole, causing minor injuries to one person; a smaller replacement idol from Ghatkopar East will be brought in a procession. In Nallasopara, a Ganesha idol toppled while devotees hurriedly covered it during sudden rain, resulting in minor scrapes for four to five devotees. Both idols were recovered and handled with community and police assistance.
