Papvimochneshwar Temple has shrines dedicated to other gods and goddesses from the Hindu pantheon. There are shrines to Lord Hanuman (on the right) and Ganapati (on the left) on either side of the garbagriha. There is a shrine dedicated to Sri Krishna beside the Ganapati shrine.
Papvimochneshwar Temple was founded on 18 August 1904 and has retained much of its traditional architecture. The temple entrance features a pair of deepastambhs (lamp columns) flanking the entrance and a tulsi holy basil) planter (on the left).
The guardian deities communicate their will through the kaul lavane ritual performed by the temple priest on behalf of the devotees. In this ritual, a pair of flower buds, flowers, or leaves are placed by the priest on the upper right and upper left sides of the deity. Depending on which side the flower or leaf falls on first, it is interpreted as a sign of favour expressed by the deity to the question sought by the devotee. A fall from the right indicates a ‘yes,’ while a fall from the left indicates a ‘no.’
Chede Dev Temple is located at the entrance of Worli village. The doorway is flanked by a pair of stone deepasthambs (lamp columns). The triangular niches cut into the deepastambhas are used for placing diyas (oil lamps).
Christian Kolis pray at the chapel, constructed in 2005 near the tip of the peninsula, next to the Vetal Dev Temple. They celebrate mass at the chapel to commemorate the start of the fishing season.
The village is dotted with chapels, shrines, and Christian icons erected by residents. This open-air shrine, decorated with colourful ceramic tiles, was erected on 21 May 1954. It was built by Srimati Maribai Shanwar Satbhut and Shravanibai in memory of her deceased husband, Paskou Satbhut.
During centuries of colonial rule by European powers, some of the Kolis converted to Catholicism and they have maintained their distinct identity ever since. This is reflected in the architecture of Koli homes, which have shrines dedicated to Jesus or Mother Mary.
Christian Koli homes feature religious icons such as the holy cross, Jesus, and Mother Mary placed above doors and entrances. This residence has a poster of the Velankanni Matha, commonly known as our Lady of Good Health. As a way of assimilation into local traditions, the Velankanni Matha is draped in a saree, following Indian custom.
A portrait of Sadhguru Narayan Maharaj (1885–1945), a spiritual teacher and guru, hangs next to the doorway (on the right) to the inner sanctum (garbagriha) at the Maruti Temple. Above the doorway is a painting of Lord Ganesh. On the left is a painting of Shri Ram, Shri Lakshman, and Devi Sita, with Lord Hanuman paying obeisance at their feet.
