History TV18 will be showcasing ‘Mumbai City of Ganesha’, an exclusive film capturing the scale and spread of Mumbai’s biggest ten day festival – Ganesh Utsav.
The film will be premiered on January 28 at 9PM.
The film will capture the processions through the streets of Mumbai on the final day of ‘Visarjan’ and show what Ganapati means to the city, how it draws people together, allows them to celebrate with abandon, regardless of caste, creed, age or background.

This special also captures stars like Deepika Padukone and the Bachchans to icons like Sachin Tendulkar and some big business tycoons, all turning to India’s ‘smart mandir’ – Siddhivinayak.
