Kwan Tai Shek Temple, Chinese temple in Mazagaon, India.

The Kwan Tai Shek Temple occupies a three-story wooden building with red balconies, traditional Chinese lamps, and dedicated shrines to both General Kwan Tai Kon and Guan Yin.

Chinese immigrants established this temple in 1919 during British colonial rule, when Cantonese workers connected to the East India Company settled in Mumbai's port area.

The temple functions as the primary gathering place for Mumbai's Chinese community of 400 families, who maintain their traditions through regular ceremonies and celebrations.

Visitors can explore the temple during daytime hours, with Sunday afternoons offering opportunities to meet the temple keeper and learn about Chinese religious practices.

The temple incorporates Moon Blocks, known as Jiaobei, which devotees use to receive answers from Lord Kuan Kung by interpreting how the blocks fall on the ground.
