In preparation for Ganeshotsav 2024, the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) methodically prepared and executed a complete lighting and power supply network to ensure that the city`s devotees have a seamless and well-lit festival experience. The plans, developed in partnership with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), would include significant procession routes, immersion locations, and artificial ponds throughout Mumbai.
BEST`s street lighting department has planned to illuminate 2,591 lamps along 71 procession routes, 20 immersion sites, and 39 artificial ponds. In addition, 15 permanent electric towers have been built at immersion sites to provide steady lighting.
