Shri Mahalakshmi Devi Temple, Mumbai

This guide to the Shri Mahalakshmi Devi Temple in Mumbai follows British engineers struggling for years to build a causeway linking Bombay's islands, only to watch the sea tear it apart each season. It turns on a dream one Indian engineer had, in which the goddess Mahalakshmi told him where three idols lay hidden in Worli Creek since they were submerged to protect them from invaders long before. The engineer set out to retrieve Mahalakshmi, Mahakali and Mahasaraswati from beneath the water on her instruction. Stand at the shrine's edge and look west over the water that once hid them.
