This small temple looked delightful from the outside full of colour and I would have loved to have seen inside but unfortunately we were not appropriately dressed. So if you do wish to visit ensure you have the correct clothing with you. From the outside it looked a maze of beautiful architectural styles with the most colourful of statues and... More

We visited the Jain temple as part of a day whistle stop tour of Mumbai. There is a list of rules to be observed on entry, but nothing more than most people would expect as a courtesy to the setting.

I learned a lot about the interesting Jain religion here... The temple looks nice and is well maintained... Women that have their period are no allowed in the temple. I wonder how they control this ;),

Usual confusion over shoes, money, access, etc, but worth a 10 minute visit. Hard to find, but dropped by by taxi on the way back from Hanging gardens

with services apparently going on all the time. While you are not allowed into the sanctuary they are many good vantage points to view worship

Visited the temple and was met with kind and helpful people who showed me the wonderful idols, paintings and sculptures. You felt at peace in the hustle and hurry of Mumbai. A very beautiful yet spiritual place. You felt you had to stop a little longer and absorb the serenity of the place.
