Umarkhadicha Raja, also known as "Dev Majha Umarkhadicha Raja", is one of South Mumbai's prominent public Ganesh mandals. The Umarkhadi Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav and Navratri Utsav Mandal was established in 1947–48 by freedom fighter Balu Changu Patil.

The mandal's history is linked to the tradition of public festivals promoted by freedom fighter Lokmanya Tilak, which sought to bring people together through community celebrations. Over the years, Umarkhadicha Raja has become a prominent part of Mumbai's cultural and festive landscape.
