Mumbai witnessed widespread disruption after relentless monsoon rain battered the city, leaving roads submerged, railway services severely affected and thousands of commuters stranded during peak office and college hours. Heavy rainfall exceeding 100 mm in several areas caused extensive waterlogging across the city, forcing the closure of key stretches including the Andheri Subway. The city's suburban railway network, the lifeline of Mumbai, also faced significant disruption. The situation turned tragic in South Mumbai after a portion of Surya Prakash Building in Walkeshwar collapsed amid the heavy rain. One person lost their life, while rescue teams rushed to the site to carry out search and rescue operations. Emergency personnel remained on the scene as authorities assessed the structural damage.

Maha Shivratri 2024 is here and this brings us to one of the biggest festivals in India devoted to Lord Shiva. There are many Jyotirlingas in India that are considered different manifestations of Shiva. While none of the Jyotirlingas happens to be in Mumbai, two ancient temples within the Mumbai city carry tales of miracles, faith and Shiva’s grace. During Shivratri, Shiva devotees flock to these temples just to catch a glimpse of their beloved Lord Shiva. The Babulnath temple in Mumbai located in Mumbai near Girgaon Chowpatty situated at a little hill is one of those temples. Just a few km away from the Babulnath temple, lies the legendary Walkeshwar temple. The story of the Walkeshwar temple is as endearing as that of the beautiful Banganga Tank next to it. What is the story behind these legendary temples and what’s inside? On the occasion of the Mahashivratri, as you do your Shivratri puja vidhi to worship Lord Shiva, don’t you miss out on visiting these Shiva temples in Mumbai.
