Balrajeshwar Mahadev Temple — Attraction in Mumbai

ABOUT THE TEMPLE

The Shree Balrajeshwar Mahadev temple, A heritage monument of a bygone era, is dedicated to the Lord Shiva / Neelkantha / Natraja (The Destroyer of all evil) and was established approx. a 100 years ago by Late Shri Godhardas Khattau who had a vision and was called to excavate a deity of their lords from a particular Spot.

On excavation, a stone Deity in the form of a Ling emerged thereby transforming the myth into a reality. The late Shri Godhardas Khattau, on being rewarded for his dedication built a small temple to provide shelter for the Deity. And since the vision, the faith (Shraddha) in God has increased a thousand-fold and so is the number of the devotees who throng to this temple for Darshan with the Lord God, for salvation and atonement for their sins, a larger temple was rebuilt in 1901.

For a religious Hindu, a daily visit to this temple prior to his work routine is signified as being blessed for the day by the almighty. The temple is managed by Shri J.K. Morarji and the grandsons of Late Shri Godhardas Khattau.

Since its inception, the Upadhya family have dedicated their life in serving the Lord by conducting all the religious functions, ceremonies,prayers and services within and outside the Temple premises, to its followers. The Upadhya family have contributed their sons from time to time, right from Late Maharaj Shri Ambalal Kashiram Upadhya, Maharaj Shri Maheshbhai Upadhya, to Maharaj Shri Harishbhai Upadhya - the third generation of Upadhaya lineage in the service...

हर-हर महादेव...

For all the Shiva bhaktas this is one of the oldest Mahadev Temple in Mulund. Almost more than 120 plus year if I can recall. Flocked by most of the visitors and Shiva Bhaktas. But to be very honest what i dont like here is that people keep pouring water after water and milk after milk in excess, which i feel can be avoided. But otherwise filled with divine fate and hope for the bhaktas, this temple is surely the one which all the Mulundites have blind faith in where wishes come...
