Best Time to Visit

The ideal months to visit are from October to March when Mumbai's weather is cool and pleasant. This period is comfortable for standing in queues. While the temple is most vibrant during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival (August/September), it experiences overwhelming crowds. For a calmer visit, plan for a weekday during the winter season. Avoid the monsoon months of June to September due to heavy rainfall, and the hot summer months of April and May.
Peak Crowd: Tuesdays, weekends, public holidays, and during festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi and Angarki Chaturthi. Queues can be extremely long.
Moderate Crowd: Weekday mornings (8 AM to 11 AM) and evenings (6 PM to 9 PM).
Low Crowd: Weekday afternoons, typically between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM, are the quietest times for a visit.
