Hey Vidyasri, This is really a good topic you started. Many people would love to visit these temples if they know about them. I would definitely try and gather more information for readers. Regards, Vaidehi
Let me start with Siddhivinayak. Its in Prabhadevi Dadar. Quite close to Dadar station less than a km. Amitabh and other stars go there often. Its said to be ichchhapurti temple. There are a couple of his vahan's statues people tell wishes in their ears. Better to visit during afternoons avoiding Tuesdays and Chaturthi being too crowded normally. They have arti before closing at 8 in evening. Here's a snap. Vaidehi
Mahalaxmi Temple is also a very famous temple on Bhulabhai Desai Road. All slow trains for Churchgate stop at Mahalaxmi station. There are three images Mahakali, Mahalaxmi and Saraswati. Its a beautiful sea view around the temple. On Fridays and during Navratri its quite crowded. The lines are almost till the bus stop and you might have to wait for 2-3 hours for Darshan. But take care of your footware. I lost mine on the first day :hide:
hi vaidehi :hiya its nice to hear about siddhivinayak temple and mahalaskmi temple,you have well described thanks for sharing dear :cheers deepu
hi everybody, Daily you can watch Mumbai Siddhi Vinayaka on MI MARATHI channel from sharp 7am till 7.20am which begins with a beautiful sloka on Ganesha. Also Siridi Sai Baba on the same channel from 6.30am till 6.50am on all first five days of the week ie..sunday till thursday, because on friday they telecast Mumbai Mahalakshmi temple and on saturday Shanimatma from shani shingapur. Those who have Tata Sky can watch them on the channel No 834 and also direct telecast from VAISHNAVODEVI from6.20am till 8am until mahamangalarathi on the pujabi channel no..882.
There's also a Sai Trust in Malad. There are Sai Baba, Sita-Ram, Hanuman, Devi Mata, Krishna etc temples all under one roof. The atmosphere is calmingly spiritual. Its between SV road and railway station in malad west. A little search is needed the first time. Lots of people gather at Arti times. All worshipers should definitely visit once in a while. Come back for more Vaidehi
