Banganga

Fodor's Review:

This undervisited temple complex in the Malabar Hill area is considered one of the city's holiest sites. It's also the oldest surviving structure in Bombay. The small, sometimes dilapidated temples are built around a holy pool of water and surrounded by the ever-encroaching houses of Bombay's newer residents. Cows and people mingle freely here, as do bathers who come to sample the "healing powers" of the water.
