Prabhadevi (Pronunciation: [pɾəbʱaːd̪eʋiː]) is a small up-scale southern neighbourhood of Mumbai, situated between Dadar to the north, Worli to the south and the Arabian Sea to the west. The area derives its name from the 300-year-old Prabhavati temple located in the locality.[2] Prabhadevi starts at Sayani Road Junction and ends at Babasaheb Worlikar Chowk.
Landmarks[edit]
Prabhadevi is largely a residential area, consisting mostly of newly built apartments and high rises.[3]
One of Prabhadevi's most important landmarks is Siddhivinayak Temple,[4] which attracts thousands of devotees every day, Tuesday being the main day of prayer.
Transportation[edit]
Numerous BEST buses ply in the Prabhadevi region. Prabhadevi is not directly served by the local train; the nearest station is Prabhadevi on the Western line and Parel on the Central line; which was previously known as Parel-Elphinstone Road railway station. Prabhadevi is excellently connected to Bandra via the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, facilitating easy travel to neighboring regions.
