Ganesh Chaturthi: Vidyut Jammwal welcomes Lalbaugcha Raja with shankh & damru
Mumbai has come alive with the arrival of Ganpati Bappa as Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 began with supreme devotion, colour, dhol and celebration. Amid the sea of devotees seeking the blessings of Lalbaugcha Raja, a very spiritual moment has caught our eye! Actor and martial artist Vidyut Jammwal added a divine spiritual touch to the festivities with his heartfelt welcome for Bappa.
Like other celebrities, Vidyut Jammwal also visited the iconic Lalbaugcha Raja pandal on September 14, to seek Bappa’s blessings. Dressed in traditional white attire, the actor was, however, seen doing something that gave us goose bumps. He was seen participating in the aarti and immersing himself in the devotional atmosphere. But what caught everyone`s attention was his beautiful gesture of welcoming Bappa with the sacred sounds of the shankh and damru.

As the conch echoed through the festive surroundings and the rhythmic beats of the damru filled the air, Vidyut appeared completely devoted in the moment. It was a side of the actor that fans rarely get to see. Away from the action, intensity and physical prowess associated with his on-screen persona, he appeared as a devotee simply surrendering himself to Bappa`s divine presence. If that isn`t beautiful, we don`t know what is!
The shankh and damru made the moment even more special. For the unversed, the conch is traditionally regarded as an auspicious sound in Hindu rituals, while the damru carries a strong association with Lord Shiva. Their presence created an atmosphere that felt deeply rooted in India`s spiritual traditions.
Vidyut`s gesture was not merely about participating in a celebration because it reflected the emotion that makes Ganesh Chaturthi so special for millions of devotees.

This year`s Lalbaugcha Raja celebrations have also carried a distinct spiritual atmosphere. The pandal has been designed around a Mahadev-inspired theme, drawing inspiration from the Mahakaleshwar Temple, with a grand trident adding to the divine setting.
Against this sacred backdrop, Vidyut`s shankh and damru performance felt particularly fitting. The powerful rhythm, the traditional white attire and his evident devotion came together to create a moment that was less about celebrity presence and more about faith.
