When was this built?

edit

There seems to be some confusion/disagreement. A book cited in the article (Bombay Place Names and Street Names) names one Dhanji Dadaji as the man who ordered the construction, and that it was completed in 1831. The account that relates the construction of the temple with that of Hornby Vellard, on the other hand, indicates 1785. The Hornby Vellard page cites an article from the Mumbai Mirror that is now a dead link. Perhaps a small shrine was built at that time and later expanded? Could residents of Mumbai clarify?

I too believe the same. It must have been a small shrine and then was built properly after few years. That's my opinion! -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 18:57, 9 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
