Shri Mahalakshmi Temple
One of Mumbai's most revered Hindu temples, dedicated to Goddess Mahalakshmi — the divine bestower of wealth, fortune, and prosperity.
Welcome to the Abode of Goddess Mahalakshmi
A sacred pilgrimage site in the heart of Mumbai since 1831
A Temple of Divine Grace
Shri Mahalakshmi Temple stands majestically along the Bhulabhai Desai Road in Breach Candy, Mumbai. This revered temple is dedicated to Goddess Mahalakshmi, who presides as the principal deity alongside Goddess Mahakali and Goddess Mahasaraswati — together known as the Tridevi.
Built in 1831 by a Hindu merchant named Dhakji Dadaji, the temple has been a cornerstone of spiritual life in Mumbai for nearly two centuries. Legend has it that the idol of Goddess Mahalakshmi was found in the sea during the construction of the Hornby Vellard (now Haji Ali causeway).
Thousands of devotees visit daily seeking blessings of wealth, prosperity, and well-being. The temple is especially vibrant during Navratri, when grand celebrations attract lakhs of devotees.
