Dear Andrea,

Having lived in Mumbai for 20 years and being born in the same province
I can shed some information on Mumba Devi.I am now living in Montreal.

The local fishermen who are know as Koli worship Mumbadevi as their
resident goddess.In the old times when fishermen used to rely on
fishing boats which were not so well built and were not so fast as today, they
were not sure how long they will be gone fishing.Beofre proceeding
onn their fishing expeditions they used to perform special worships
asking for her blessings and for safety of the fleet and men and also
for safety of their family members in their absence.

Mumbadvei is considered to be reincarnation of Goddess "Durga" who
is known as destroyer of evil.The city was know before as Mumbai
(Mumba for goddess and Aai for mother).

The temple you described in you earlier mail is changed a lot now
and there is more marblework to restore and maintain same.

Even today they have annual festival when the temple is decked up and
people(not limited only yo Kolis) from far away come to worship the
deity and the atmosphere is full of festivity.

Hope this could be of some help.

Best Regards
