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

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

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.
