==History==
The mandal, or administrative division (formerly known as "Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal, Lalbaug") was founded in 1934〔(lalbaugcharaja )〕 after a vow (''navas'') to construct the present ''Lalbaug Market'' at its existing location after the marketplace at Peru Chawl was closed in 1932. The fishermen and vendors who had done business in the open market prayed to Ganesha for a permanent place for their market. With the efforts and support of then local councillor the late Shri. Kuwarji Jethabhai Shah, Dr. V.B. Korgaonkar, Shri. Nakhawa Kokam Mama, Bhausaheb Shinde, Dr. U.A. Rao and the local residents, the landlord Rajabai Tayyabali agreed to give a plot for construction of a market. As fulfillment of their wish, the fisherman and the traders established the Ganesh Idol on 12 September 1934. The idol was dressed in the customary fashion of fisherman and, from that day forward, the Lord Ganesh has become popular, fulfilling the wishes of devotees. The mandal of Lalbaug was formed at a time when the freedom struggle was at its peak.
Due to the communal riots in 1946, orders were issued to change the route of the Ganesh Immersion Procession. However, the office-bearers of the mandal refused to change the route and, after 21 days, the procession followed the same route under the supervision of the Volunteers Pandurang, which included Babu Sayle, M.S. Pawar and Dattaram Joshi. After independence, the agenda of the mandal was modified and accordingly, it decided to contribute to the improvement of the country. The mandal donated its available assets to the Kasturba Fund, the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Fund in 1947, and to the Bihar Flood Relief Fund in 1959. The social issues were highlighted in the plots during the Ganesh Festival.
