A video, claiming to show a large group of Hindu devotees dancing in front of the Lal Bagh Ganesh Mandap in Mumbai, with celebratory music and rhythmic dance, is extensively circulating on social media.
The video is shared on Facebook with a caption: “మాత ముంబా దేవి నగరం ముంబయిలో లాల్ బగీచ గణేష మండపం ముందు స్వర బద్ధ సంగీతం, లయ బద్ధ నాట్యంతో భక్తి పారవశ్యoతో నాట్యం చేస్తున్న మన హిందూ ఆబాల గోపాలం. ఇక్కడ కులం లేదు వాడ లేదు భాష లేదు ప్రాంతం లేదు…. అంతా ఒక్కటే… హిందూ– సిక్కు బిడ్డలం. జయహో హిందూ భారతదేశం జై గణేష నమఃశివాయ జై శ్రీరామ్” (English translation: In front of the Lal Bageecha Ganesha Mandap in the city of Mother Mumba Devi, our Hindu Aaba Gopalam dances with devotional ecstasy with vocal music and rhythmic dance. There is no caste, no language, no region…. everything is one… Hindu-Sikh children. Jaiho Hindu India Jai Ganesha Namah Shivaya Jai Sriram.)

Doing a simple Reverse Image Search of the viral video keyframes, the NM team found Tripscout, a travel company, had posted the video on their verified Instagram account on February 17, 2024. The video shows celebrations at the Festival of San Fermin, an annual event in the autonomous region of Navarre, Spain. The footage shared online closely matches with the video posted by Tripscout, both in location and angle.

Furthermore, a YouTube channel — Pamplona Fiesta — uploaded the same video on January 2, 2024, with the title indicating it was from the Chupinazo, the opening ceremony of the San Fermin festival.
This festival, which runs from July 6 to July 14, is famous for events like the “Running of the Bulls”. Several news articles corroborate these details.
Thus, it is evident from the above information that the video, claimed to be from a Ganesh celebration in Mumbai, is footage from Spain’s San Fermin festival.
