You will find several shops to buy the necessary items required for the puja and these stalls serve as a great help for those visiting the temple for the first time. The idols of the Goddesses here areР’В adorned with gold bangles, pearl necklaces and nose rings, with Mahalaxmi occupying the central position. The edifice of the Mahalaxmi Temple is simple and charming in its appearance, which is an apt reflection of theР’В very serene and calm atmosphere that prevails inside. Together, the three idols are known as Mahalaxmi, Mahakali and Mahasaraswati.Р’В Thronged with devotees and tourists in large number throughout the year, the temple is a must visit if you are visiting Mumbai. The temple was built sometime around the 16th - 17th century and the main presiding deity here is Goddess Laxmi, while Goddess Kali and Saraswati are other two deities worshipped here. Located on the Bhulabai Desai Road in Mahalaxmi West, it is dedicated to Goddess Mahalaxmi or the 'Goddess of Wealth'. this has no such special discipline like in siddhivinayak temple where you have seperate privileges for wheel chair, senior citizen and handicapped patients and thats called Discipline.The Mahalaxmi Temple is one of the oldest temples situated in the city of Mumbai. in my light note, i guess they have made a flat road uphill parallel to stairs, for wheel chair patients, but again inside the main temple the chaos is very heavy and wheel chair patients along with senior citizens are not advisable as its purely muscle power. also the railings that are made for the queue, have a hge rush and are very conjusted, once in, you may suffocate your elderly father with no return from the severe chaos. Steps are huge numbers and also inside the temple there is no special privilege for Senior citizens or Wheel chair patients until unless you have some contacts with the Inner chamber 'Priest ' Group who can make the entrance makeshift for your father from Side ways, which they normally do for well to do human beings whom they are acquainted with or some special convenenicne offered to a privilege few and please note its a pure play of Severe rush and fight with lots of hush gush and no discipline of the devotees, with severe display of muscle power and money power you can see overall in all the areas around the prayer hall. Could not find any Helpful support or Volunteers around of temple to help nor the Vendors across Temple could be of any help other than the business commercial reason of getting their things sold. The trip to Mumbai will not be completed without the darshan of Goddess Mahalakshmi. A must see temple for those who visit Mumbai, either first time or many times.

The Arabian Sea behind the Temple gives a grand look. This approach road is always busy through the day. The road leading to the temple is flooded with shops selling Flowers, Garlands, sweets for offering to the Goddess. The temple is open from 6.00 AM to 10.00 PM. After this, the work on the Vellard could be completed without a hitch. Surprisingly the Devi statue was recovered after a search and he built a temple for it. Apparently after portions of the sea wall of the Vellard collapsed twice, the chief engineer, a Pathare Prabhu, dreamt of a Devi statue in the sea near Worli.

The history of this temple is supposedly connected with the building of the Hornby Vellard. All three deities are adorned with nose rings, gold bangles and pearl necklaces. The temple houses images of the Goddesses Mahalakshmi, Mahakali and Mahasaraswati. We all enjoyed the location of this temple as well as the shrine of Goddess Mahalakshmi. In the year 2008, we around 150 pilgrims visited this temple on our way back to Hyderabad from Ujjain Tour. I first visited this temple in the year 1982 with my friends and since then visiting at regular intervals when ever I come to Mumbai. It is situated on Bhulabhai Desai Road in Mahalaxmi area and It is only 1 km from Mahalakshmi railway station in Mumbai. Mahalaxmi Temple is a famous temples in Mumbai, the commercial capital of India.
