History of this Temple

According to history, a demon Mumbarak used to terrorize the local people. Thus, he prayed to Lord Brahma, who sent an eight-armed goddess to kill Mumbarak. After being defeated, Mumbarak asked for forgiveness and promised that he would build a beautiful temple dedicated to her. But the present temple is not the original.

The first temple was near the present Victoria Terminus, which was destroyed around 1740. But the Koli community and other local people worshiped and believed in Goddess Mumba. So he built another temple, which we see today.

In the classic ancient Hindu temple style Shri Mumba Devi Temple is built. The building has a high spire and a red flag flutter on its top. And the outer walls are decorated with beautiful carvings prominent in Hindu temples. The shrine of the temple houses the idol of Goddess Mumba. Mumba devi represents Mother Earth and does not have a mouth.
