It is an ancient hindu temple. On of the best temple

Gives strength and peace everytime I visit the temple.

Beautiful place but not 20 change per for maintenanceIts fill relax and so much peace at here

Walkeshwar Temple, also known as the Baan Ganga Temple, is a temple dedicated to the Hindu god, Shiva located in Walkeshwar, near Malabar Hill neighbourhood, in South Mumbai precinct of the city of Mumbai, India. It is situated at the highest point of the city,[1] and close to the temple lies the Banganga Tank.

Closest station- Grant road. Take a bus or cab or drive yourself there. Make sure you have ample of time at hand.The temple is beautiful but read up on the history to understand it better. Visit the Banganga, Parshuram temple and other small temples along the path.Each has alot of significance.

Must Visit Place. One can feel this place like a Tirth Kshetra. 😇

One cannot imagine such soothing place in a city like Mumbai! One of the hidden places in Mumbai.

Its nice temple but way is too narrow to go there.

Maintenance may improve now that a temple trust has taken over. Rs 20 per head is the charge.

This is a very old water reservoir. Is this a great history? People come here to do Shraddha and there are many temples here. It feels good to go there and everyone enjoys this peace of mind. .

Walkeshwar TempleWalkeshwar Temple also known as the Baan Ganga Temple is a temple dedicated to the Hindu god, Shiva. The temple is close to Banganga Tank. The temple and the attached fresh water Banganga Tank were built in 1127 AD by Lakshman Prabhu, a Goud Saraswat Brahmin minister in the court of Silhara dynasty Kings. The Walkeshwar temple was originally built by the kings of the Silhara dynasty, who ruled Bombay from the 9th to the 13th century.The temple was destroyed by the Portuguese in the 16th century and was reconstructed by a business person and philanthropist from Mumbai in the 17th Century. Pilgrims flock to the temple during the full moon and new moon to worship the deity and are a superb time to visit the temple to witness its reverence in full glory.It is located at 40, Banganga Cross Ln, Teen Batti, Malabar Hill, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400006. The Banganga Tank, belonging to the temple, was also first constructed at this time. The tank was rebuilt in 1715 out of a donation for the temple by Rama Kamath. The main temple has been reconstructed since then and is at present a reinforced concrete structure of recent vintage.Legend has it that the Walkeshwar temple was built by Ram using sand, hence the name Walukeshwar Walu (Sand) Eshwar (God) which has over a period of time become Walkeshwar.The temple is open from 5 a.m to 9 p.m.Photos by Viswas Menon(c) Viswas MenonWrite up compiled by Viswas Menon

Hiii nyc my paradise place iflt was

Lovely environment and friendly people.

Colsed due to covid

Love you all friends

The area has many big and small temples.Banganga watertank at the rearside.The waterbody is huge and has ghats all around. It is surrounded by many temples.Priest performing pujas and some having bath in the tank is a usual site.However, cleanliness is not to be seen. The place is highly unclean and any enthusiastic tourist would be disappointed with its condition today. Some ducks are to be seen in the area.Roads leading to the temple are quite narrow so avoid cars.

A very old Shiva temple, located in Malabar hill. Wonderful locale nd peaceful place.

Excellent proof of ancient hinduism

Wish it was better maintained...could be a great tourist draw

Best of the best temple in Mumbai

Place so different and calm.Somewhat tricky to reach this place.I wish someone take Good maintenance of the surroundings.

Awsome place with peace nature and good vibes.

One of the oldest shiv temple, right at the banks of Baan Ganga, Shradh bali poojas are generally performed at Baan Ganga, after Shradh bali offerings,temple darshan is done 🙏

A 1849 painting by edwin weeks. Look at the details man.

A place to offer prayer to your forefathers...

Hindus holy place... Lovely❤

It should be cleaned and taken care of

Shiva temple... Moring to evening open, nearest of pavitra ganga lake

Fine

Good place to calm your mind.

Walkeshwar is sort of overrated spot for visit

This is one of the most important temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is right near the Banganga tank. There are benches to sit inside. The temple premises are neat and clean. It is open from morning 5 am to night 9 pm. Many pujas are done here. Water tap is also available for shivling.

This temple is situated just a 50_60ft from sea shore.Banganga tank is just opposite.Presently it is closed due to Corona pandamic in Mumbai.The shiv long has been established by the Shri Ram himself and dig the tank for water to be used for Abhishek.City buses and taxi services are available to reach here from every corner of the city.Must visit.

Temple timing is not correctTemple is closed at afternoon time

Particularly interesting is the history of the water tank and the fact that there is a fresh water lake, meters away from the salted sea. The place is really old, so i liked the vibes. Water levels have decreased as compared to earlier. Nearby places are Nehru Planetarium. If youre a Ramayan enthusiast/Ram worshipper, you will like the place.

Oldest historical temple complex on Mumbai islands and I love to visit there always. Very well built great many Temples surrounding a huge natural lake gives a spectacular view.

Good place. Carry some bread pieces to feed the 50 ducks. They also eat coriander I think. The water is constantly filled in the tank by bmc water connection every day and every day drained into the sea. Hence the upkeep of the place is very good. One can even swim in the tank . Monsoon will be great time since the water level is 3 steps up then pre monsoon.

Beautiful temple..... Clean and neat place.One should go to this place during sun set and should witness the lights during dark. The pound adds more beauty to it.One of the best and beautiful as well as hidden temple of Mumbai. Do remember that this temple get closed by 7:30 - 8:00 pm

Reference of this temple found on a cover page of a book called Chow-Chow selections from Diary. Published in 1857. New York library.Image attached.

Peaceful and Serene. the banganga steps can be cleaner. Has high spiritual significance

Place of high spirituality where Madhavendra Tirtha Swamiji took samadhi when alive. Saturday is the day when large number of devotees assemble at this place.Free lunch as prasad is provided to all devotees.

Located in Walkeshwar Malabar Hill... A pilgrimage where ol Hindu rituals are performed... A known tourist place mostly visited by foreigners throughout the year and in shravan month people come here to take holy bath. There are aprox 150 temples... Though located in the posh area once you reach the destination you will have the feeling as if you have reached Im some village

Must visit at lest once in life time. One of the best for tourists.

Very ancient Hindu temple. Its believed that God Ram has come here during his wandering days when he was exile for 14 years. He was very thirsty and there was no lake or pond around. He prayed to Goddess Ganga and she appeared there, with which he quest his thirst. That is called Banganga lake. And thats how Walkeshwar is famous for both the Banganga lake and shiva temple along with many small small temples around.

If your are a religious and temple going person or have love to see the ancient structures and temple... Do visit Walkeshwar, Banganga area

One of the most peaceful area of mumbai. Clean and quite. Loved this place

Baan Ganga is famous for Shradh. The water is very clean and comes from spring. As per local persons the origin of the spring nobody knows. This makes the place very special. Even though the ghat is just 200 metre from sea, the water is not salty.

There should be changing room for ladies.BMC should provide changing room as these is the ancient place and many people gather there for bath.please built changing room.

Its little tricky if one wants to reach the place using Google maps. Just asking locals around will help. The roads are very narrow so need to be mindful of that if traveling by car. The temple and surroundings are badly maintained. There are slums around the temple and no food options any where close to the temple. Theres sea few metres down which offers splendid views though.

Very religious...Highly Spiritual...Very relishing prasad food at no cost cost at Shri Hanuman Temple...A request to managing authorities:(1) Please keep the main temple Darshan open throughout the day like other Lord Shiva Temples.(2) The way to temple is very herculean for elderly people to visit... More(2) The spiritual pond must be cleaned and maintenance must be done.

Ancient temple. Peaceful.Not so crowded so you can spend time there. Such a nice temple.

At the edge of the sea in mallabar hills..got history related to it..loved being over there specially the banganga tank..just infront of the temple

Great ancient temple ..Timings u must know.. morning 6am to 12pm and evening 5pm to 7pm

If u wanna have varanasi feel in mumbai this place u should go ..this place has the famous banganga pond .it is said that when in vanvas and sita wanted to drink water lord rama shooted an arrow(baan) in the center of this place and water rose from there and so its called as banganga .Has a very holy and spiritual feel .that place in between the busy hustle and posh housings takes u suddenly away to a very holy side of the city. This place has many small temples which are years old . One should visit for a holy feeling in the city.

Spiritual Place...But There is need to maintain hygiene.

Cleanliness required. Cant see efforts to maintain the heritage

Good known temple from back in the day when we used to see it in the movies....this temple has a big pond with ducks....good place to go and spend some time and click pictures

Just a small temple with a pond known as banganga. The temple was closed when I visited there hence cant describe much.

Beautiful, Serene & Calm these words describe this Temple. Many foreign visitors also visit here to capture the blend of city with sea facing side.

Banganga walkeshwar...abode of Shiva n ganga.Place so different and calm . Inside of the temple is serene .Its little tricky to reach ,the roads are very narrow The temple and surroundings are badly maintained. There are slums around the temple, being a heritage and a holy site wish the place was well maintained .

Here you can see many Gods of Hindu temple. It is in Malabar Hill where people can easily find out this place. This place is very peaceful.

Its a temple of kashimath. Old Hindu traditions are preserved. Very unfortunate that younger generation is not much interested.

Superb place where u get positive vibes and aura for happy life.

Not a good one now. Nil maintenance. Slum

2 or 3 small old temple with lake at the middle of temples. Clean water with few ducks inside. Calm place in Mumbai chao

Always amazing to visit shivji. specially during the festival in september time.

Must visit for people coming in to explore nostalgic architecture Walkeshwar Banganga is a place to visit for all surrounded by ancient temples

Good place to visit, but not maintained not clean

Visited Banganga for Asthi pooja of my Late Father.. Very peaceful place..

Walukeshwar temple is the holy place. When we go their then peacefulness we may observe. Suppose you are in Mumbai as well as from any other then must visit this temple & take bless of god Shiva.

Cleanliness is less. Difficult to find. Crowded.

Beautiful calm and clean temple with great history attached to it, temple architecture looks modern,Surrounding area specially the ghats of historic Banganga pond is not clean

All temple around banganga tank and beautiful sea view

Its not other temples crowded all the time but inly during festival,from backside of it you got some awesome view

Pilgrim place for Hindus were 24*7 running water flows to Ghat from unknown source during any season it mean as small Ganga( Bal Ganga ) Ghat at walkeshwar one of worshipped place according to short survey people visit this place multiple times for Pooja and darhan also they called this place as Moksh Kund.

Spiritual and eternal place. Have rich and mythological past. Bit sad to see its been deserted by crowd.

Walkeswar temple is situated on the banks of Babganga. The antiquity of Banganga, the original spring of pure drinking water below sea level, is true. The water had come from Sri.Lakshmans arrow that he had shot into the earth, to produce water at Sri Ramjis request to quench the thirst of the Vanar Sena.This is an ancient site.The water here is clean, good and has never dried up. There are many temples built around the Banganga. The main being the Sivalinga Ramji built with this own hands.The Walkeswar Kasi matt temple stands next to it.Another rare one is the Stri yoni that is placed on the banks of the Banganga . This is Aryan custom of praying to Devis Yoni.Lamps are lit near this rare bimbam(deitys sculpture )The yoni is placed near a very old human form Siva in Trancendental pose.People come from all over to have a drop of water in their forhead from the Banganga and to offer prayers in all the temples around it. This is also a heritage site.I wish the Government would give support to the people who maintain the Banganga and the surrounding temples. This can be a famous site for our tourists and travellers to come visiting. Prince William has visited this site with his wife.

On the banks of Banganga, presiding deity of Lord Shiva and several other temples nearby make my heart feel natural bliss. As if I am on a pilgrimage away from the city

Religious place to visit in Mumbai.. Most peaceful and famous place.

Ok.but more cleanliness required around lake.

Its Amazing Visit Once Your mind Be in peace with Heartly!!! Har Har Mahadev

Very nice mandir to spend some time.

Excellent,queit and soothing place located at the very posh area of malabarhill walkeshwar.

There are so many temples in walkeshwar and the charm of Banganga lake makes the place so enchanting.This lake was created by Lord Rama. I will highly recommend you to visit this place because its not the typical mumbai place and has got its own village kinda environment.

👍 Very nice and one of the best temple in the city

Wow,such a great ShivLing (Idol). Amazed. Thank you . Well maintained and cleaned.

Dedicated to Lord Shiva a Holy temple of Hindus. This temple remains crowded on Mondays. Easily accessible place.

Quite and energetic place to chill with your loved ones

Nice and beautifull hanuman temple...🙏

Nice place.. Cool and calm... Heritage structure.. Must visit once...

Nice place

If you touch the holy water of this divine ancient temple and make one wish it surely come true

The place is so different, so calm. Youll reach some other yuga and place. Youll feel outside Mumbai in Mumbai.

Prachin Talao

Dont bring big car or tempo or truck small road and not clean area temples r very nice and mentain very nicelyBut there is no cleanliness ...

It is the modest hindu temple which was built in the 12th century on the banganga water tank. Walkeshwar is one of the best location in mumbai. the temple attracts lots of people as it is very beautiful place and kept clean.when you go there you will not feel that it is in mumbai city but a holy place in some other place. This temple is dedicated to lord shiva must visit once and take the blessing of god shiva

It is Entertainment & peaceful place. Mumbai is best place for tour.
