Shree Sanatan Dharam Sabha (Regd.),
Geeta Bhavan — Hari Mandir
Commonly known as Hari Mandir (हरि मंदिर), the temple is dedicated to Lord Ram and Krishna, located at Plot #353, Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar, Sion-Koliwada, Mumbai.
Established on 13th April 1950 by partition refugees who arrived in 1947, the temple began with mats for walls and tin sheets for a roof. Today it stands as one of Mumbai's oldest temples — with three main shrines, a sacred Akhand Jyoti from Mata Vaishnodevi, and a legacy of 75+ years of community service.
A sacred Akhand Jyoti was brought from the Divine Enclave of Mata Vaishnodevi (Jammu) and established at Hari Mandir — the only one of its kind in all of Mumbai.
