Where Is Mumbai?
Where is Mumbai
Mumbai, or as it was called Bombay previously, has been in the news for various reasons, some good, some not so good. Especially after the 26/11 terror attacks on Mumbai, the city have been in the news worldwide for the wrong reasons. But nonetheless, Mumbai is probably the most sort after metro city after New York.Situated in the western coastal belt of India, Mumbai is a part of a state of India named, Maharashtra. In fact, Mumbai is the capital city of Maharashtra as also the financial capital of India.
Almost all the major countries are connected to Mumbai through various flights running to and fro from Mumbai.
So reaching Mumbai is as easy as calling your friendly travel agent and asking him to book a ticket to Mumbai. Mumbai is a transit spot for the most famous location in India, GOA. If you want to go to Goa, you will have to land in Mumbai first.

Mahalakshmi Temple, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Mahalakshmi Temple Situated in South Mumbai
Location: Bhulabhai Desai Rd., Breach Candy, Mumbai
History: Built in 1758.
Transport: Train to Bombay Central or Mahalakshmi Station or Taxi or Car. No Auto Rickshaws are available in this part of Mumbai. (Click here to Check out Road Maps from various locations to Mahalakshmi Temple)
Tips: Take offerings of Lotus Flowers as Mata Lakshmi loves Lotus flowers. They are abundantly available outside the Mandir from where you can buy.
As you reach near the Mahalaxmi Mandir at Bhulabhai Desai Road, Breach Candy, Mumbai, you will see a long flight of stairs which you have to climb in order to reach the inside of the temple. These steps are so famous for anyone who is a Bollywood fan because it has been shown in many a Bollywood movie, most famously in the Vidhu Vinod Chopra movie, Parinda starring Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and Madhuri Dixit.
The construction of the temple is somehow connected to the building of the Hornby Vellard. The Hornby Vellard was a project to build a causeway which would connect the seven islands of Bombay into a single island with a deep natural harbour. But due to a wall collapse the project was delayed. That was the time when the chief engineer for the project, Prabhu Pathare, dreamt of the statue of the Mataji in the sea and sure enough, upon searching they found the idol of Mata Lakshmi.
Thus, a temple was built for the idol in the year 1785 which came to be known as the famous Mahalakshmi Temple of Mumbai. (It is believed that Mata Laxmi herself came into the engineer's dream and instructed him to build this temple)
The Mahalakshmi temple is dedicated to Mata Laxmi, the divine consort of Lord Vishnu. Also known as the Goddess of wealth, many a people believe that praying at the Mahalakshmi temple will make their wishes come true.
The temple celebrates a lot of festivals especially Navratri when people from far and wide come to participate in the festivities.
Jai Mata Di!
