Mumbai, Maharashtra · 18.9456°, 72.7932°
An old Shiva temple on Malabar Hill in South Mumbai, associated with the adjoining Banganga freshwater tank and used as a venue for Hindustani classical music festivals.
Rama is said to have paused here on his way to Lanka, fashioning a linga of sand and shooting an arrow into the ground to bring up the Ganga as the Banganga tank.
