The much-awaited upgrade of Mumbai’s iconic Mahalaxmi Temple is yet to commence, even as authorities have now set a fresh deadline of September to begin the work. The project, which includes structural repairs, beautification, and improved facilities for devotees, was initially expected to start earlier this year. Delays in approvals and coordination between stakeholders have pushed the timeline. Temple authorities have assured that preparations are underway and the work will be carried out in phases to avoid disrupting daily rituals and pilgrim access.
