Across the city, iconic mandals bring together art, culture, and spirituality through beautifully crafted idols and innovative themes. From traditional setups to eco-friendly initiatives and socially relevant messages, these pandals are more than just places of worship—they are cultural landmarks that attract lakhs of devotees. As 2025 approaches, anticipation is building for some of Navi Mumbai’s most loved Ganesh mandals.
Kharghar cha Raja, located in Sector 12, is one of the most celebrated cultural highlights of Navi Mumbai’s Ganesh festival. Each year, the mandal presents immersive thematic displays that leave devotees in awe. In 2023, the theme recreated the sacred Kedarnath temple, while in 2024, it focused on the avatars of Lord Dattatreya. For 2025, the committee has kept the theme under wraps, creating curiosity and anticipation among devotees. Beyond the grandeur of its themes, Kharghar cha Raja is admired for its eco-conscious approach. The main idol is preserved every year, while a smaller idol is immersed in an artificial pond, promoting environmental responsibility.

Juinagarcha Raja in Sector 23, Juinagar, is another prominent pandal that holds immense emotional value in the community. Established in 2002 under the Jai Bhavani Mitra Mandal, it was built to foster unity and strengthen social bonds in the neighborhood.

Panvelcha Raja Chintamani in Sector 4, New Panvel, is a favorite for many devotees who seek vibrant yet devotional celebrations. In 2025, the idol dazzles in vermilion and saffron hues, radiating divine energy. The pandal is decorated with fresh floral garlands, intricate rangolis, and warm lighting that together create a serene and festive atmosphere, offering a perfect balance of celebration and spirituality.

Vashi Cha Raja in Sector 1, Vashi, holds the distinction of being one of Navi Mumbai’s oldest mandals, with a legacy spanning more than five decades. Known for its traditional charm, the pandal usually features a powerful yet simple idol that reflects devotion at its core. Even though the theme for 2025 is yet to be revealed, its heritage and enduring appeal ensure a steady flow of visitors.

Navi Mumbaicha Raja in Sector 21, Turbhe, stands as the oldest and most prominent Ganesh mandal in the city. Housed at CIDCO Ground, it attracts massive crowds every year with its elaborate decorations, towering idol, and social awareness messages.
