About

The Mahalakshmi temple enshrines the three goddesses Mahalakshmi, Mahakali and Mahasaraswati, adorned in gold and pearls. According to a cherished legend, the deities were recovered from the sea in the early 19th century after appearing in the dream of an engineer struggling to build a sea wall (the Hornby Vellard) — once installed, the work succeeded. Set on a rocky promontory with the ocean as its backdrop, the temple draws a steady stream of devotees, especially traders and businesspeople seeking the blessings of the goddess of wealth. During Navratri it becomes one of Mumbai's most vibrant places of worship.
