Mahalakshmi Temple is a temple dedicated to Goddess Mahalakshmi in the city of Mumbai in the state of Maharashtra. Mahalakshmi Temple Mahalakshmi is situated close to the sea. The Mahalakshmi temple has three very beautiful sculptures. In the sanctum sanctorum of the Mahalakshmi temple, the idols of the three goddesses Mahalakshmi, Mahakali and Mahasaraswati exist together. three statues are decorated with gold and pearl jewelery. During Navratri festivals, innumerable Hindu devotees offer coconut, flowers and sweets to the Lord.
It is believed that the Hindus immersed the three idols of the Goddesses into the sea near Worli creek to avoid destruction of the idols by the Muslim invaders. Subsequently, during British Rule, Lord Horneby decided to connect the two islands viz. Worli-Malbar Hill creek and the work was entrusted to Shri Ramji Shivji Prabhu, a Govt. Engineer who tried through his other engineers and technicians to link the two islands(creeks). They were not in a position to connect two islands by constructing two ways and could not complete the project on account of Sea – Waves. One night Shree Mahalaxmi Goddess instructed him in a dream and asked him to take out all the idols which were in creek of Worli and place them on top of the hillock. He promised the Goddess that he will take them out from sea/creek and place them in a temple on top of the hillock. Accordingly, team working for construction of connecting of Worli creek and Malbar Hill creek took out all the three idols of matajis from the Worli creek. Then only he succeeded to connect the said two creeks. After completion of this work, Engineer obtained ground on the hillock as a gift from the English Ruler. He then constructed a Mahalaxmi Temple on the said on top of the hillock by spending Rs.80,000/-. As per the records available this temple was constructed between 1761 A.D.1771 A.D.If you need some help while traveling, please tell us exactly how to get there.
