My
journey
to
the
heart
of
Mumbai
began
from
Kharghar,
a
train
ride
winding
its
way
to
Masjid
Bunder.
Imagine
my
surprise
when
the
very
city
named
after
the
revered
Mumba
Devi,
didn't
have
signboards
leading
to
her
abode!
🌃🤷♂️
A
1.2
km
walk,
where
every
step
felt
like
turning
the
pages
of
Mumbai's
bustling
life,
led
me
to
her.
The
streets,
wrapped
in
the
cacophony
of
markets,
were
sadly
marred
by
filth.
🏢🗑️
It's
paradoxical
how
a
city
that
owes
its
name
to
the
goddess
doesn't
maintain
the
path
leading
to
her!
🤔💔
Yet,
amidst
the
mazes
of
alleys,
there
stood
the
Mumba
Devi
Temple.
Small
and
ensconced
amidst
towering
buildings,
it
felt
like
a
serene
oasis
in
the
midst
of
a
concrete
desert.
🏛️🌿
Inside,
a
divine
aura
wrapped
around
me,
offering
solace
to
the
soul,
even
though
I
couldn't
help
but
wish
that
the
temple
had
the
grandeur
it
so
rightly
deserves.
🙏✨
The
temple
grounds?
Immaculate
and
clean,
yet
so
constricted,
almost
like
a
gem
encased
in
a
tight
setting.
A
corridor
around
the
temple,
I
mused,
would
be
a
breath
of
fresh
air,
a
walkway
for
devotees
to
soak
in
her
blessings.
🌼🚶♂️
On
my
way
back,
I
chose
a
different
path,
leading
me
to
the
iconic
CSTM
station
in
just
a
brisk
20-25
minute
walk.
🚉⏳
Mumbai,
a
city
of
dreams,
a
city
named
after
Mumba
Devi.
It's
high
time
our
beloved
city
pays
homage
to
its
namesake.
I
earnestly
hope
🙏
that
the
government
and
the
affluent
denizens
🎩
recognize
her
significance,
not
just
in
name
but
in
deed.
Here's
to
envisioning
a
grander,
cleaner,
and
more
accessible
temple
in
the
heart
of
Mumbai!
