Mumbadevi is a Koli goddess, who is believed to be the original inhabitant of Mumbai. The goddess represents mother earth and is dressed in robe with silver crown, a gold necklace and a nose stud. Mumbadevi is flanked by a tiger in front that is believed to the career of the goddess, and a shrine of Devi Annapurna seated on a peacock on the left.
The Mumbadevi Temple does not have a very impressive architecture but it is definitely a very important landmark of Mumbai. You can buy flowers, garlands, and sweets for offering worship to the goddess from the stalls outside the temple.
The Mumbadevi Temple was built in 1675 near Bori Bunder by a Hindu woman named Mumba. But this temple was demolished and a new temple was rebuilt again near Bhuleshwar, Mumbai where its stands erect today.
