点评:We went by cab, as parking around the temple is a big issue. Would definitely recommend visiting by cab if possible.
There are basically 3 queues for darshan:
1. VIP Darshan
• Around Rs 1500 for 4 people or Rs 500 for one person
• Darshan usually in 2–5 minutes on weekdays
• But darshan happens from the side view, not directly from the front
2. Rs 100 Ticket Queue
• Takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour
3. Free Queue
• Surprisingly, it took us only 34–36 minutes on a weekday
• And the darshan was actually very good
Funny part was that the Rs 100 queue had more crowd than the free line. Last time we had taken the Rs 100 ticket and it took around 1 hour 15 minutes. This time we thought of trying the normal queue and were genuinely surprised.
Many agents or people around the temple may tell you that the normal line will take 2–4 hours and try to push paid tickets, but honestly, don’t fall into that trap, especially on weekdays.
The temple itself is amazing and very powerful. It is believed that the temple was established in 1801, and devotees believe that Lord Ganesha here fulfills wishes and removes obstacles, which is why lakhs of people visit every year. Even many celebrities and businessmen regularly come here before important events or new beginnings.
The pandits inside are good and cooperative. There is also a Hanuman temple near the exit, which is peaceful and worth visiting too.
Overall, a must visit temple in Mumbai, full of faith and positive energy.
翻译:我们打车去的,因为寺庙周围的停车位非常紧张。如果可以的话,强烈建议打车前往。
基本上有三条排队通道:
1. VIP通道
• 四人约1500卢比,单人约500卢比
• 工作日通常只需2-5分钟即可完成朝拜
• 但朝拜是从侧面进行的,而不是正面
2. 100卢比门票通道
• 大约需要45分钟到1小时
3. 免费通道
• 出乎意料的是,我们在工作日只用了34-36分钟就完成了朝拜
• 而且朝拜体验非常好
有趣的是,100卢比通道的人比免费通道还多。上次我们买了100卢比的门票,花了大约1小时15分钟。这次我们决定试试普通通道,结果真的非常惊喜。
寺庙周围的许多代理商或工作人员可能会告诉你,正常排队需要2-4个小时,并试图推销付费门票,但说实话,千万不要上当,尤其是在工作日。
这座寺庙本身令人叹为观止,充满灵气。据信,该寺庙始建于1801年,信徒们相信这里的象头神伽内什能够实现愿望、消除障碍,因此每年都有成千上万的人前来参拜。甚至许多名人和商人也会在重要活动或新的开始之前前来参拜。
寺庙内的祭司们和蔼可亲,乐于助人。出口附近还有一座哈努曼神庙,环境清幽,也值得一游。
总而言之,这座寺庙是孟买必游之地,充满信仰和正能量。
