As Lalbaugcha Raja reached the Hindustani Masjid in Byculla, Mumbai, a notable mosque located on NM Joshi Marg near Chinchpokli welcomed it with shower of flower petals. Lalbaugcha Raja's procession makes a deliberate halt at the Hindustani Masjid and the Muslim community welcomes the idol with flowers and garlands. Sweets are exchanged between the Hindu and Muslim communities. This tradition started in the late 1980s and 90s and continues till today.

By late evening, Lalbaugcha Raja will be dipped in the sea after being carried out on a special boat. 

Many clicked photos, while others prayed for their troubles to go away with the symbolic immersion of the lord's idol.
