Religious Activities

• Temple Preservation and Management

Through generations, Temple worship has played a major role in the lives of the G.S.B. people’s lives. The community has established and maintained several temples – across Mumbai – dedicated to various deities. The G.S.B. Temple Trust is responsible for preservation and management of several prominent temples and heritage properties across Mumbai, including the historic Shri Banganga Tank and Shri Walukeshwar Temple precinct; Shri Bhuleshwar Mahadev Mandir and Shri Ramji Balaji Mandir at Bhuleshwar; the Shri Shitaladevi, Shri Shantadurga and other Temples in the Shitaladevi Temple Complex and Shri Murlidhar Mandir in Mahim. The Trust overseas daily rituals and festivals at these premises.

• Housing Family Deities

Some Saraswat Brahmin families, due to personal reasons, are unable to perform the worship of their family deities at their homes or temples (either in their native place or in Mumbai). For such families, the G.S.B. Temple Trust provides a facility to house their deities, where daily worship is performed on their behalf.
