Hence, the Sanstha workers had a look at some old newspapers at Mumbai Marathi Granthasangrahalay. There we found some mention of the programmes held in our festival.<\/p><p>Later, in the 106th year of the festival, we decided to undertake the research again. This time, we decided to tap other language newspapers as well. Browsing through Mumbai Samachar, the oldest Mumbai newspaper and Bombay Chronicle, we realised that this hundred-year-old festival had witnessed quite a few remarkable and significant events. There are many facets to the festival as various people have contributed to it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91aa17b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"91aa17b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2ef6c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"b2ef6c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-529d588 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"529d588\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b5e872 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1b5e872\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06c3f3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"06c3f3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a28ae3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a28ae3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The information about the festival has not been compiled so far.

So we carried an appeal in newspapers urging people to contact us with any material available with them on the festival.
