Shankar Deol
About Shankar Deol
Located on Bhulabhai Desai Road in Mahalaxmi, this temple was built by Hindu merchant Dhakji Dadaji and has served as a cornerstone of spiritual life in Mumbai for nearly two centuries. According to local legend, the idol of Goddess Mahalakshmi was discovered in the sea during the construction of the Hornby Vellard causeway. The temple's sanctum sanctorum houses three principal deities: Goddess Mahalakshmi (the principal deity and bestower of wealth and fortune), Goddess Mahakali (representing divine power and destruction of evil), and Goddess Mahasaraswati (embodying knowledge and wisdom). Thousands of devotees visit daily seeking blessings, with the temple reaching its peak vibrancy during Navratri when grand celebrations attract lakhs of pilgrims from across India.
