The current project was completed during Maharashtra's Ganesh festival, which is a very popular festival. Lord Ganesh idols are placed in households as well as public areas. The celebration is marked by much pomp and splendour for the idols. Using a sound level metre, noise levels were measured at four distinct places in Palghar Tehsil, a far western suburb of Mumbai city, on a typical working day and the final day of the event. Noise pollution indicators were calculated, as well as Noise Climate. The central pollution control board's noise standards were surpassed on both days, with a considerable increase in noise levels on the final day at all sites. The category of safe zone for festive and non-festive days was mentioned on the Vaitarna website. On celebratory days, the Saphale site exhibited a low to moderate danger zone category at 4 pm, 5 pm, and 6 pm, whereas the rest of the time slots indicated a high risk zone category. The Boisar location showed a significant risk on a joyful day. The Saphale, Palghar, and Boisar sites indicated safe zones, safe to low risk zones, and safe to moderate zones on non-festive days, respectively. There is no agency in this area that monitors noise levels.
