- Description:
- The Gaondevi Temple honours the village deity (Goddess) of Mazagaon. The Koli community worships an imprint of a foot that they believe was left by the Goddess, hoping that it will protect fishermen on the high seas. The current temple is situated on Mazagaon Hill, however, this is not where it was historically located. During Navratri, the temple comes to life as the Gaondevi is ritualistically transported across Mazagon.

- Description:
- Ownership and management of the Catholic churches began to diverge after the Portuguese gave the British control of the Bombay Islands. ‘Descendentes’ were the descendants of the Portuguese, while ‘naturalis,’ which included the Kolis, were the natives who had undergone conversion. The descendants refused to let the naturalis inside Gloria Church. The naturalis objected and urged the government to provide them land in Mazagon so they could construct their own church. Consequently, Our Lady of the Rosary Church was constructed on this land in 1794, as indicated by the inscription on the wall.

- Description:
- Koli vendors along Nawab Tank Road, named after a tank constructed by Nawab Hyat (Ayaz) Khan's ancestors. Hyat worked for both Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali of Mysore. He surrendered the Bednore Fort to the East India Company during the Second Anglo-Mysore Wars. Hyat was shifted to Mazagon following the war, where he lived with his family, receiving an annual stipend of four thousand rupees from the government. He was called ‘Nawab’ by the local Muslims because of his affiliation with Hyder Ali.

- Description:
- There are multiple stories regarding the origin of Mazagon’s name. The popularly accepted story suggests it came from Matsyagrama (a fishermen’s village), which in the local language became Machch-gav. The English referred to it as Massegoung, which was shortened to Mazagaon, while the Portuguese called it Mazaguao. Another simpler theory states that it originated from the Marathi phrase ‘maza gaon,’ which means ‘my own village.’
