Mumbai: Mumbai's most awaited festival, the Ganesh Chaturthi, is being celebrated on Sunday.
As part of the usual merry making and appeasing the elephant God, there is a Ganesh statue that is adorned with 60 kg of gold and 175 kg of sliver.
The idol of GSB Mandal in King's Circle is said to be the richest of the lot.
The crown and all the ornaments of the statue are made of gold and that is the reason the management has insured it.
"We insure it every year. We have been doing it for the last 15 years. I think this year gold is very costly, that's why the value is more. We also got two more ornaments today itself," President GSB Seva Mandal, Dinesh Pai says.
The statue has been insured by IFFCO Tokyo General Insurance at a cost of Rs five crore.
