The Mumba Devi temple in Princes street of Bombay is only 2 kms from Bombay VT station. Now VT station(victoria terminus) is renamed as Chatrapathi Shivaji Terminal or CST. During my Ph.D. period, 1975 to 1978 (before marriage) I used to go Princes street to see my village friend and Typing institute batchmate Sanka Madhusudana rao. He was working in Vysya bank and stays in the cloth shop of his uncle Basavaiah garu(also a Chirala man). Many chirala business men are customers of Basavaiah cloth stores as he deals with 1% commission basis and extends credit with his surity from the main market.
The importance of Mumba devi temple in Princes street is that Bombay or now the Mumbai is named after this Mumbadevi temple. The temple is centuries old but is encroached on all both sides by the shops only the entrance is visible and then once inside the temple you feel some what releaved of the croud. around in the main road. I prayed to the Godess to give me all the good things and good education.
