The Surya Narayan temple is located in Surajwadi, Panjiapol Lane, Bhuleshwar. it was built in 1899. This temple is dedicated to the Sun God. The temple is made of white stone and there are two carved figures of Jay and Vijay at the enterance , the celestial gatekeepers. There is a large hall for the reading of the holy books (Puranas) and a number of galleries which are used by the sadhus and devotees.
At the entrance of the inner sanctuary which is made of marble, stands figures of Maruti, Ganesh and the ‘Apsaras’ or the celestial damsels. On stone pillars are sculpted the seven sages or the Sapta Rishis. In the inner sanctuary seated on a one wheeled chariot is the Sun God.

For last 40 years or more I have been visiting Suryanarayan temple at Bhuleshwar, Mumbai. This is my observation that daily suryapujan and trikal havan are performed very regularly and in a systematic manner. Devotees are repeatedly advised to wear white colour clothes and remove their rings with stones and gems while performing havan. I have seen that during puja & havan many devotees, in spite of repeated requests and instructions, do not maintain necessary basic discipline and cleanliness in the temple premises and argue with the temple staff.
This is with reference to the comment postd by Mr. Deepak Bajaj. I believe, using this website to vapor out personal frustration is inappropriate as that creates a wrong impression about a place of great historic and religious importance in the minds of general public and tourists. I suggest the readers to personally visit this beautiful historic temple, when in Mumbai.
i love to go to suryanarayan mandir at panjrapole and do the trikal havan but this so called parimal maharaj is shit he talks bullshit telling mr marne ko paina hai gemstones and insults and humilates me that is why i have stopped going if the trustees are hearing this everything can be controlled earlier the old priest prior to parimal was very courteous but parimal is a lecher looking at his face seems death is occuring him
