#mumbadevi #mumbaicity #podcasts

In this episode, we talk with Honourable Hemant Jadhav, who is in charge of the historic Mumba Devi Temple, the guardian goddess of Mumbai. This temple was built a long time ago by the local Koli community and is very important both culturally and spiritually. Sir explains the interesting history of how the temple was moved from its original spot and why the statue of Mumba Devi, believed to be 400 to 600 years old, is so special. He also shares the story of how Mumbai got its name, which is closely connected to the city’s identity. Besides history, we learn how the temple helps the community by responsibly giving out donations to those in need and supporting social causes. On the day called Vardhapan Din, the temple hosts a celebration called Palkhi Sohala, where a decorated carriage is taken around the area to keep old traditions alive. The temple also has smaller shrines dedicated to Goddesses Jagadamba and Annapurna, and to Lord Hanuman, making it a lively place of worship. This episode connects Mumbai’s history with its ongoing traditions, festivals like Navratri and Dasara, and popular areas like Kalbadevi and Zaveri Bazar. It’s a celebration of the Goddess of Mumbai City, who continues to bless the people of the city.
