The Asthika Samaj Kochu Guruvayoor Sree Ram Mandir — Attraction in Mumbai

The Asthika Samaj, Matunga is a wonderful temple dedicated to several deities. Having performed there for Ram Navmi myself, I can say that Asthika Samaj attracts a lot of crowd especially in the evening. The interiors of the temple are just pristine and reminds me of the various temples I have visited in Chennai (my hometown). One recommendation to the Asthika Samaj is that their sound system isn’t that great and they should really improve on it to make it a better place to give a kutcheri, but I really don’t see a reason as to why The Asthika Samaj doesn’t deserve anything below 5 stars.

Poojas and deebarthanais are conducted regularly everyday, the atmosphere in the temple is very peaceful and blissful. Asthika Samaj also puts up programs for various festivals like Ram Navmi, Navaratri and more. It’s temple that one should consider visiting regularly for peace of mind.

The temple is well-maintained and not too crowded, especially during weekday mornings or evenings. It’s a hidden gem in Mumbai for anyone seeking peace, devotion, and a moment of quiet away from the city buzz.

Highly recommended for regular visits, especially for those who feel connected to Lord Rama or...

One of the oldest temples in the vicinity. Lord Sreerama (with Sitadevi and Laskhmana), Sree Guruvayoorappan, Shani devas (NavaGraha), Anjaneyar, Sree Subrahmanyan, Lord Shiva and Ayyappa are the dieties in this temple. The auspicious presence of Lord Ganesha under the Banyan Tree is also considered as one of the pious points by worshippers. Situated near to King Circle on the Station Road attracts most of the South Indian worshippers in and around Mumbai. There is a Kalyanamandapam in the upper floor which provides marriage, upanayana functions in typical Southern style. Proximity of King Circle station in Harbour Line, Matunga Road station in Central Lines and location in between the stretch of Sion and Dadar makes this temple accessible by...
