About Mumba Devi Temple
Mumba Devi Temple stands as a revered Hindu sanctuary located in the Bhuleshwar area of South Mumbai, near Zaveri Bazar. Dedicated to Goddess Mumbadevi, also known as Maha Amba Devi and recognized as a local manifestation of Parvati and Durga, the temple holds profound spiritual significance as the namesake of Mumbai itself. According to historical records, the temple was constructed in 1675 by a Hindu woman named Mumba near the northern wall of Fort St. George, close to the former Bori Bunder River landing point. Though modest in architectural grandeur, the temple's historical importance and the deep devotion of local worshippers make it a cherished pilgrimage destination attracting hundreds of daily visitors. The temple complex also houses shrines dedicated to Shree Hanumanji and Shree Annapurna, enriching its spiritual offerings.
