Mumbai’s iconic GSB Ganesh Mandal has once again become the talk of the nation. This year, the pandal is insured for a record-breaking ₹474.46 crore, making it India’s most heavily insured Ganesh pandal. But beyond its grandeur, gold, and silver ornaments, what truly sets GSB Ganpati apart is the unwavering devotion it inspires—not just among common devotees, but also among celebrities who visit every year.

Aishwarya Rai’s Devotion to Bappa

One of the most prominent names among GSB’s regular devotees is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The actress, along with her mother Vrinda Rai and daughter Aaradhya, never misses the darshan of GSB Ganpati during Ganesh Chaturthi. Despite the heavy crowds, Aishwarya can be seen humbly taking blessings, often ensuring her daughter and mother are safe beside her. Her photos and videos, where she prays with folded hands like any common devotee, often go viral on social media.

The GSB Ganpati’s divine aura attracts many big names from the entertainment industry every year:

• Swapnil Joshi – The Marathi and Hindi TV actor visits GSB Bappa annually, known for his deep devotion.

• Pooja Hegde – The actress from South and Bollywood films is often spotted here, with her darshan pictures widely shared online.

A Pandal Without VIP Culture

What makes GSB Ganesh Mandal truly unique is its inclusivity. Unlike other pandals where celebrity culture dominates, here everyone—be it a superstar or a common devotee—stands equal before Bappa. The mandal beautifully blends faith, art, and social service, making it one of Mumbai’s most respected Ganesh Chaturthi destinations.
