We (Mayur and myself) visited a Shiva temple in Matunga, Mumbai. It was built in 1753. Almost 250+ years ago. Now it is surrounded by concrete jungle i.e. corporate offices, sky scrapers, high rise buildings. Then 120 years back it was an actual jungle. Forest near the sea shore. Shivaji Park is a 5 minute walking distance. Matunga is a place which has the old and the new side by side. Sankaracharya peeth, Hindu colony, 5 gardens. Perfect blend of ancient and the modern.
