Magen David Synagogue, Synagogue in Byculla, India.

David Sassoon founded this religious center in 1864, and his grandson Jacob Sassoon expanded the building in 1910 to accommodate more worshippers.
The synagogue maintains daily morning services and Sabbath prayers, drawing members from Bene-Israel, Cochini, and Baghdadi Jewish communities in Mumbai.
The synagogue offers a Shulchan breakfast after morning prayers and welcomes visitors from all religious backgrounds throughout the year.
This religious structure stands as the largest synagogue for Baghdadi Jewish people across Asia, excluding Israel.
