MUMBAI: Despite the high price of gold and silver, riches continue to fill the coffers of the Lalbaugcha Raja Ganeshotsav Mandal in its 90th year of festivity.
Treasurer Mangesh Dalvi said, "From September 20-27, we have received Rs 3.2 kg gold and 51.6 kg silver in our hundi. The highlight is a robust gold necklace weighing approximately 1 kilo. Apart from that there is a 100 gm gold bar and numerous smaller ornaments like finger rings, chains, earrings, pendants as well as golden and silver modaks, durva grass, oil lamps or samaii. One devotee has deposited a large silver kalash."
