The Bandra-Worli Sea Link faced significant opposition during its planning and construction phases from the fishing community of Worli Koliwada. They expressed concern about the impact Sea Link would have on the marine ecosystem. Despite protests, the Sea Link was completed and has become a symbol of modern Mumbai.
For many Koli families, their kula devata is Ekvira Devi, regarded as a manifestation of the goddess Renuka. Kolis make a yearly pilgrimage to Ekvira Devi Temple at the Karla Caves, near Lonavala.
The Vetal Dev Temple is dedicated to Panyatla Vetal and Aagya Vetal. The temple also houses the mother goddesses Sakhba Devi, Golfa Devi, and Harba Devi. The stone images are coated in thick layers of vermillion.
