Mota Mandir
About Mota Mandir
Shree Mumbadevi Mandir stands as a significant pilgrimage site and historical monument in South Mumbai, situated near the steel and clothing markets of Zaveri Bazar. Built in the 17th century, the temple was constructed by a Hindu woman named Mumba against the northern wall of the English Fort St. George near the former Bori Bunder River landing point. Though modest in architectural grandeur, the temple holds profound spiritual importance for devotees who visit daily to worship Goddess Mumbadevi, also known as Maha Amba Devi. The temple operates under the governance of the Mumbadevi Trust and serves as both a sacred worship space and tourist attraction, drawing hundreds of visitors seeking blessings and performing various religious rituals.
