A banner bearing the name of the temple in the Devanagari script obscures the view of an elevated platform with the goddess Durga as Mahishasurmardini (slayer of Mahishashura).
Many shops in the vicinity of Mumba Devi Temple have been in business for generations. For example, Ram Jagannath Jaipurwale has been selling sweets and puja ingredients to pilgrims for three generations.
The store sells conches, cowries, rudraksha beads, and metal rings. In the past, people used cowries as a form of currency and associated them with Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, fortune, and prosperity.
Images of Mumba Devi are available in shops. According to legend, Koli fishermen retrieved the self-manifested image (swayambhu) from the seas surrounding Mumbai.
Makara capitals are supported by pillars. Makara is a legendary sea creature that appears as the vahana (mount) of Ganga, the river goddess, and Varuna, the god of oceans.
