The Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount, affectionately known as Mount Mary Church, is one of Mumbai's most beloved religious landmarks, a Roman Catholic basilica perched on a hilltop in the leafy suburb of Bandra, overlooking the Arabian Sea. The church is home to a centuries-old, much-venerated statue of the Virgin Mary (Our Lady of the Mount), and is revered not only by Catholics but by people of all faiths across Mumbai, who come to pray and seek blessings. The Neo-Gothic church is graceful, and its hilltop setting offers lovely sea breezes and views.
It's most famous for the Bandra Fair (the Mount Mary Festival), a week-long celebration held each September around the feast of the Nativity of Mary, when enormous crowds throng the approach, lined with stalls selling candles (often shaped like body parts or objects representing prayers), flowers, sweets, and trinkets. It's a vibrant expression of Mumbai's pluralistic devotion. Visit any time for a peaceful stop, or during the fair for the full, joyful spectacle.

Un po' di storia
A church has stood on this Bandra hill since the 17th century, founded by Portuguese-era Jesuits, with the venerated statue of Mary at its heart. The present Neo-Gothic basilica was built in the early 20th century, and the annual Bandra Fair grew into one of Mumbai's great religious celebrations.
