Breath taking!
Heard about the temple being very popular and so visited with my friends from work. Taxis are crazy and won't pick you up from nearby areas. Share taxis are the ones you need to take. Sign boards inside the temple could be better. Close-up darshan is at the back side of the temple but Doordarshan is at the entrance so people (first timers) get confused. Flower stalls are a loot. Overall the display of idols is vast/wide and the view to the devotees is good. Rush is a huge thing though. Photography is not allowed so no pics. The veg restaurant outside the temple is good for food. Chappal stand is free but will be available only another devotee returns their chappals. Have to wait in line. Prasad counters are spread across and so are teeth prasad counters. Free laddu prasad is set up outside the main temple and people coming out of the temple or people already outside can stand in line to collect, which is tedious. Laddu prasad can be directly provided inside the temple premise so that people need not stand in line. There should be a barricade in the center of the path so that it is convenient for people walking in both directions.

Must visit if you are in Mumbai
This Ganesha temple is a must-visit if you are in Mumbai. There are a bunch of shopkeepers inside who will try to make money by selling flowers and sweets at a higher price but you can buy them from outside at a better price. If you have a laptop or electronic items, they have a locker outside where you can deposit it for Rs 50. Also, after the puja, if you want to try traditional Maharashtrian snacks/foods, there are several shops there. I tried in a shop called Modakam and the taste was amazing.
