Shree Babulnath Mandir, Mumbai

This guide to Shree Babulnath Mandir in Mumbai opens with a goldsmith named Pandurang in the late seventeen hundreds, puzzled by his cow Kapila, who climbed this Malabar Hill every afternoon to pour her milk onto one patch of ground. It follows his cowherd Babul's dig into that ever damp soil, and the site's roots back to a twelfth century shrine consecrated by a king named Bhimdev. You'll hear how a small seventeen eighty temple later grew into the structure funded by the Maharaja of Baroda. Stand facing west, where the Arabian Sea stretches below the hill.
