The Thackeray-led Shiv Sena faction will host their Dasara Melava at the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Park in Mumbai, with the event scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. Simultaneously, Eknath Shinde’s faction will hold their own gathering at Azad Maidan. Both leaders have organized massive events, with seating arrangements for over a lakh people.
