Mumba Devi
Mumbai
The Mumba Devi Temple is an ancient temple and renowned holy place of Mumbai in Maharashtra. As per the mythological legends, the Goddess slaughtered the demon Mubaraka and as a result, she came to be known as 'Mumba Devi'. The devotees raised a temple and dedicated it, in her honor. In 1739 the temple was destroyed but was again built at Bhuleshwar- the present site in Mumbai. Mumba Devi is regarded as 'Shakti' and people worship her with full devotion.
The temple doesn't boast of an intricate architecture, rather it is very simple. In the main shrine, the idol of Mumba Devi appears majestically clad in rich clothes with a silver crown, a nose stud and a golden necklace. The altar is always festooned with garlands of marigold flower. On the left side, one can see Goddess Annapurna mounted on a Peacock and in front of Mumba Devi, there is a tiger that makes the mount of the goddess. The Goddess is without mouth, symbolizing the Mother Earth. Mumba Devi, in this form, is revered by the Dravidians of the western and the southern part of India. There are various other shrines inside the temple complex and which are dedicated to Lord Ganesh, Maruti, Mahadev, Indrayani, Murlidhar, Jagannath, Narsoba and Balaji.
