Nestled at the foot of Malabar Hill was a quiet village named Gamdevi or Gaondevi, meaning village of the Goddess. The area is still known by this name though the village is long gone. Small houses have been replaced with multi-storeyed structures. There are no personal gardens and very few trees.Gamdevi TempleInhabited mostly by Hindus, it is dotted with educational institutions and temples.The main temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga as Lilavati a graceful woman. It is considered to be one of the oldest temples on the islands, being more than 200 years old and has a story about its idol. In 1661 Bapuji Mahatre, a Prabhu, dreamt of finding a statue amongst the rocks of Malabar Hill. He shared this dream with his friends and they brought the idol down to the village. Later another Prabhu, Balaji Bhikaji built the temple, which still stands.
