Dear Viewers,
Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are just around the corner and Ganpati mandals in the city of Mumbai have started gearing up for the same. Large number of devotees, people, and even bollywood celebrities flock to get a glimpse of their favourite idol; and the numbers are only increasing by the year.
Ganpati mandals want to leave no stone unturned in making sure that they get complete security and are willing to pay large sums of money to get an insurance cover for the same.
Insurance cover for this year’s Ganesh Chaturthi, starting on September 1, is estimated to run into crores of rupees. Mandal’s across the city are seeking quotes from insurance companies for this festival and are in the stages of finalizing the premium as well as the sum assured.
Last year, the city’s richest mandal GSB Seva Sadan, based in Matunga, had taken an insurance cover of Rs 49.5 crore. They are all set to break last year’s records and the insurance cover this year is likely to cross Rs 50 crores.
Insurance cover for Ganesh celebrations largely covers the crowd or the people gathered at the venue, the mandal, and expensive gold jewellery encrusted with gemstones adorning the idol.
Other top ganpati mandals in the city are also looking to insure this event and collectively the sum assured this year is likely to break all records, especially due to the recent terror attacks in the city. Terror insurance cover is also an option that people are now considering.
The most popular and top Ganpati mandals in the city are Lalbaugcha Raja, GSB Seva, Ganesh Galli and Khetwadicha Raja among others.
All in all, large sums of money are being showered for this year's Ganesh Chaturthi in the city and insurance is going to play a very vital role.
