Walkeshwar Temple :-

This is situated on Walkeshwar Road, close to Malabar Hill. The legend states that Rama and Lakshmana arrived here in their search of Sita. Rama's vow to worship the 'Shivalingam' (Phallic symbol of God Shiva) required Lakshmana to bring the lingam daily from Banares. When Lakshmana was late one day, Rama fashioned a lingam from 'Waluk' (sand). The temple thus became known as 'Waluka Eshwar' (sand God) or Walkeshwar.

Banganga Tank :-

The Jain Temple :-

Constructed in :1903, the temple contains two major images, one of Rishabhadev to whom this temple is dedicated, and the other of Parasnath. The ground floor has a square floor plan with statues of the Jain 'thirthankaras' (prophets) recessed into smaller square rooms, off the main square. There is a constant flow of devotees moving in and out this temple.

Mahalakshmi Temple:-

Originally, to the north of Malabar Hill, stood three temples dedicated to Lakshmi, Saraswati and Kali, which were totally destroyed by invaders. Several decades later, when the British chose to connect the Mahalakshmi area to Worli by building Breach Candy, ferocious tides swept in and destroyed several such attempts. It was at this time that Goddess Lakshmi appeared in a dream to Ramji Shivji, a contractor. She told him to remove the three statues from the sea bed and establish them in a proper shrine. Ramji acted according to the wishes of the Goddess and the Hornby Vellard was successfully completed. The Mahalakshmi Temple in Breach Candy is one of the most popular temples in the city and during Navarathri celebrations devotees stand for hours in long queues awaiting their turn to worship before the goddess. The Temple contains images of Goddess Mahalakshmi, Mahakali and Mahasaraswathi. All three images are adorned with nose rings, gold bangles and pearl necklaces. The image of Mahalakshmi is shown riding a tiger and a demon (Mahishasur) in tandem.

Mumbadevi Temple :-

This temple was built in honour of the Goddess Mumbai, from whose name it is said, that the English word 'Bombay' is derived. The Goddess personifies Mother Earth and is still worshipped by the descendants of the Dravidian population of western and southern India. The original temple built by Koli fishermen was demolished around 1737 and a new temple was erected in its place at Phansi Talao. The modern shrine contains an image of the Goddess Mumbadevi dressed in a robe with a silver crown, a nose stud and a golden necklace. To the left is a stone figure of Annapurna seated on a peacock. In front of the shrine is a tiger, the carrier of the Goddess.
