The experience was very good of visiting the temple. It was something unique that I had never experienced. I got to see the carvings on the wall, some descriptions about the gods and many about the Chinese culture. Whenever you visit the temple and find it locked ask for the keys from the locals, they will tell you that from where to borrow the keys
Wish to see a Chinese temple in Mumbai? Here it is in one of the peaceful lanes of Mazgoan. Very few people know about it and hence it is less crowded. Once you enter the temple you feel the calm and peace inside and the place has a sense of pure bliss. The fragrance of incense sticks keeps the mood positive and beautiful Taoist symbols are seen across the temple. Coming here is such a pleasant experience and a must visit if you are in Mumbai. Place looks picturesque and also very welcoming. Fortunate that we have such a place in Mumbai!
An out of the world experience for anyone from Mumbai... The place is located next to mazgaon port and once you reach you will really think if you are at the correct place till you reach in front of the big three floored red building. The temple was closed by the time we reached but the caretakers are staying on the first floor are they are very kind and sweet. They will give you the keys when you ask and you can go and open the door and enter by your own. As soon as you enter make sure that you switch on all the switches which would turn on all the lights and also a chinese prayer pre recorded and kept ready. You have a part of the temple on the second and the ground floor so make sure you visit both.
Didn't know about this place before.. Chinese people who are born and bought up in mumbai visit this place regularly. Went on the occasion of Chinese New Year, the temple is way too old and still maintained in good condition. Came across some people who were kind enough and very devoted, some spoke marathi/ hindi languages fluently.
The Kwan Kung Temple or Mazgaon Chinese Temple is a shrine in Mumbai that is dedicated to Kwan Kung, the Chinese god of protection and Kwan Yin, goddess of peace, mercy and wisdom. It's the only Chinese - Taoist temple in the city. This temple was built for and by the See Yup Koon community from China, who by profession were merchants, traders and sailors. In the opposite lane of the temple, you can find a building with typical 1950s design with the 'See Yup Koon' door sign. The temple transports you to that era, an era with wooden stairs, red chinese lanterns and antique electrical switches. You are welcomed with the fragrance of burning incense sticks, bright and beautiful symbols like the Yin-Yan and other Taoist symbols that adorn the temple. This place is frequented by spiritual healers who bring biscuits and chocolates as their offerings,which are later distributed as prasad among visitors. The population of the Chinese diaspora living in Mumbai started dwindling after the Indo-China War of 1962. Many Indian-Chinese people living in India were sent to Deoli Camps in Rajasthan. Most of them were deported to China, those who decided to stay were kept imprisoned for almost 2 years, while the war lasted for a month. They lost their property and were forced to relocate to a country that they never considered home. These were our people, our very own. They spoke Hindi, married other Indians, ate the same food as us but were considered traitors because they looked different. Currently, 4000 Indians of Chinese descent reside in Mumbai. This temple isn't easy to get find, many locals have no idea that it even exists. Please use Google Maps when you go here. I'll even upload pictures of the chawl where it is located.
First of all its a task to find this Temple between the buildings in mazgaon. This temple is situated in regular resident building, only a red gate outside with a name in chinese is return in a small lane with cars parked around. You want anyone here we had gone in afternoon. On first floor the care taker stays who will open the temple for you on 2nd floor & ground floor. Visit once & see that India has a Chinese Temple too in Mumbai & another in Kolkata thats it.. Nowhere else.
Such a great place. Calm serene and lovely chinese people coming and worshipping. The lady and her grandson are very kind people. You should definitely visit the temple its a gem in bylanes of mazgaon. Any one can go here and pray. Just ask nagaon tank road.
Unknown to many, even those living in Mumbai, this temple is a 10 minute walk from Dockyard Rd Harbour Line in Mazgaon. The temple can be accessed by getting keys from the 2nd floor. The temple is on the 1st and 3rd floor. Interiors resembles with that of a chinese temple and walls adorned with calenders. A beautiful thing is that people write down their messages and wishes to God on paper and place it at the idol's feet hoping it shall be heard. Tranquility is the word that describes this place the best.
Our family had been staying in Sagar Darshan BPT Officers quarters for aong time till 1993...we could see the temple top from our balcony... Visiting the temple gives a calm and peace ...be it the Tao temple of Buddha temple both of them located on 2nd floor and Ground floor.... The peace of the place overflows upon you ...belief of goodness and God are one everywhere in the world.... A must visit place of faith for belief of almost half of human race .. God bless. Saprem,. Subhash Karmarkar
Kuan Kung Temple is very calm and peaceful place..Guyz you must visit this place
