We had visited this temple during winter and it was a pleasant experience. Everything was organised there and we had the glimpses of the deities without any hurdles. The darshan was a quiet affair and the place had a great charm without any chaos which is so common in and around other temple places. It waa an enriching experience.

The temple is many centuries old and when you enter the temple you become free of all worries.The area around temple is thickly populated and it is advisable to go there by a hired taxi,because you want get parking place for your car.

It is an old Hindu temple in the city of Mumbai, dedicated to the goddess Mumbā, the local incarnation of the Devi (Mother Goddess). Marathi Mumbā derives from Sanskrit Mahā-Ambā "Great Mother", and Mumbaī combines the name with aī, the Marathi for "mother". The name of the city Bombay (now called Mumbai) is derived from Maa Mumbadevi.

Mumbai got its name from Mumba Devi according to some legends. Its a very old temple, housing (one of) the reigning Deity of Mumbai. Not too well maintained very sadly. The market outside is reminiscent of Old Delhi

This is the temple which boasts of being the Goddess of Mumbai. It is said that Mumba Devi is the saviour of Mumbai. A small yet most powerful temple with hoards of people coming to Mumbai pay their respect the moment they enter Mumbai.
