Landmark/Temple. By Kishore from NJ, USA on Mar 25, 2006.

Mumbai City, formerly known as Bombay, owes its name to Mumbadevi, its Patron Goddess. The temple, constructed circa 15th century by the local fishermen in honour of Mumbadevi, was demolished and rebuilt in 1737 at Bhuleshwar. Legend has it that Mumbadevi was sent by Lord Brahma to subjugate a wicked demon Mumbaraka who harassed and tormented the local populace.The idol of Mumbadevi, housed in the reconstructed shrine, is adorned in a flowing robe and a silver crown. The Goddess reputedly grants the wishes of devout worshippers.
