The legend has it that three deities were submerged where today Mahalakshmi temple is, to protect from the invaders. Lord Horneby who was the governor and an engineer Shri Ramji Shivji Prabhu had to link the seven islands to build Bombay by connecting Malabar Hill and Worli, but the raging sea was giving it a tough grind.
One night Goddess Mahalakshmi appeared in the dream of Ramji Shivji Prabhu and manifested that the breach would only stand strong once the submerged idols were excavated out of the sea and placed on the hilltop. Only after the excavation of the idols, was the construction connecting the two islands Malabar and Worli completed.
After the completion of the project, the Engineer got the hilltop as a gift from the English ruler. He then constructed the Mahalakshmi Temple on the hilltop and spent around Rs. 80,000, as per the records Shree Mahalakshmi Temple in Mumbai was built between 1761 and 1771.

“I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

“In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

“After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
