Temples Tour of Mumbai
Description
This is the essential tour for those who want to explore the historic temples of Mumbai and get closer to the spiritual side of the country.
Itinerary
The guide will be waiting for you at the Mahalakshmi temple, one of the most famous in Mumbai. Dedicated to the Goddess of Wealth, it was constructed in 1831 for a Hindu merchant. Its story serves as a perfect introduction to this tour, showcasing the importance of religions in India.
Next, we will navigate through what was once referred to as ‘old Bombay’ until we reach the temple of Trimbakeswar, dedicated to Lord Shiva, followed by the temple of Siddheswar.
Our route will also include the Shree Swaminarayan temple, which, despite its beauty and proximity to other religious sites, is less touristic, making it the ideal retreat for meditation.
The other two temples on our itinerary are Lord Hanuman and Shani, which are conveniently located together. This will be explained by our guide during this stop on the tour.
Continuing along Warden Road, now known as Breach Candy, we will explore this important street in the spiritual and religious landscape of Mumbai.
Our next destination is the Kinara Masjid mosque, a key religious shrine in the city. The tour concludes at one of the most recognizable landmarks in Mumbai – the Haji Ali Dargah. This mosque and tomb (dargah) is situated on a small islet off the coast of Worli in south Mumbai. Here, you will experience the significant influx of devotees who come to honor the Muslim saint Haji Ali.
