Genesis of Shree Mahalaxmi Temple, Bhulabhai Desai Road, Mumbai
Sacred Mission & Contemporary Overview:
During the construction of the Hornby Vellard seawall connecting Worli to Malabar Hill (1782–1784 CE), the sea breached the wall twice. Goddess Mahalaxmi appeared in a dream to Pathare Prabhu engineer Ramji Shivji Prabhu, instructing him to retrieve the three submerged idols hidden in the Worli sea during earlier invasions and build a temple on the hillock; once recovered and enshrined in 1785 CE, the causeway stood firm forever.
