Sridevi Padmavati Devi Temple

Peaceful and calm place. Place of divine. If you need some place to get positivity and calm thinking, you can visit here.

This is an ancient temple dating back to around 10th century, according to śilāśasanās (stone inscriptions) retrieved from the near-by Powai lake. The main deity of the temple was Lord Śiva, in the name of Nagajeśvara Svāmi (Lord of daughter of Himalayas). The temple was later maintained by Simhappa, a mahāsāmant under the Silhara kings. An agricultural land (the present IIT campus) was also donated by him to the Temple. Chattrapati Śivāji, later installed Goddess Padmāvatī‘s murti or vigraha and from then the temple became famous after Her name. Padmāvatī Devi, though an incarnation of Goddess Lakṣhmī, has many striking resemblances with Mumbādevi: Devi does not have a mouth and the murti or vigraha is covered with sindhūr. Also, the Devi’s chālīsa mentions Her name as Pavaīsvarī, based on which the locality is known as Powai. Perhaps this shows that Mātā Śakti is the same whether called as Pārvatī or Lakṣhmī or Sarasvatī. Currently, inside the temple premises there are three temples: Padmāvatī Devi, Nagajeśvara Svāmi and a new temple of Lord Ganeśa.

Nice temple , in temples premises there is a trap as shown in attached photo. We really enjoyed this fun loving activity.

Very beautiful place inside the IIT Mumbai campus.

Very serene atmosphere, perfect for meditation and sadhana. Morning times are the best to get a spiritually enlivening experience.

Well a very old temple in IIT Bombay premises it is dedicated to Mata Parvati. A relatively quite place situated among the intellectuals the beautiful scenery due to it being situated on the bank of Powai lake is mesmerising. A must visit if you ever visit IIT Bombay. Even the way to the temple goes along the bank of the lake.
