4. Siddhivinayak Temple

Siddhivinayak is one of the oldest Hindu temples in the country, where the deity of Ganesha is worshipped. Originally constructed in 1801, the current building complex is the product of modifications performed in 1993. While a large amount of gold that covers the idol's throne attracts the majority of visitors, there are various additional aspects of the temple that draws visitors.

Devotees from all across India, including celebrities, flock to the temple to seek Siddhivinayak Ganapati's blessings. The fortunate Lord Ganesha statue is fashioned out of a single black stone, with the trunk curved to the right, making it unique. You can take your family to this temple for an enriching spiritual experience.

5. Haji Ali Dargah

Travel with your family to one of Mumbai's most prominent religious shrines - the Haji Ali Dargah, which holds Sayed Peer Haji Ali Shah Bukhari's tomb. This magnificent structure is composed of white marble and represents the Indo-Islamic architectural style.

One of the main tourist attractions of this place is that it is constructed far out into the sea, and the pathway gets submerged during high tide! The waves lashing at the sides, spraying into the air, with live Sufi music in the serene ambience, is all you need to unwind. The monument was inscribed in the World Book of Records in 2020 as one of the world's most visited shrines.

Head to the Bandra Fort, a historic watchtower built by the Portuguese in 1640, for the best view of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, or simply drive across the bridge. It has become Mumbai's counterpart of the Brooklyn Bridge or the Sydney Opera House. Watch the bridge light up with stunning colours at sunset. You just cannot miss this one!
