Mumba Devi Temple

The temple features an orange-faced silver-crowned statue of Mumba Devi along with idols of Annapurna and Jagdamba placed on either side.

Originally constructed in 1737 at the location of present-day Victoria Terminus, the temple was later relocated to Marine Lines-East area during British rule.

The name Mumbai derives from Mumba Devi, considered as the patron deity of the Koli fishing community who first inhabited the seven islands.

The temple management committee organizes six daily prayer ceremonies and spends approximately 5 million rupees annually on maintenance and festival celebrations.

Devotees press coins with nails onto wooden blocks within the temple as part of their ritual to make wishes and seek blessings.
