As the name suggests, Mount Mary's Basilica sits atop a small hill overlooking the ocean. Its current semi-Gothic style building is around 100 years old, although the statue of the mother Mary dates back to the 16th century.

The church and its grounds are particularly festive during the Bandra Fair. It takes place over an eight day period, starting on the first Sunday after September 8, as part of the annual Feast of Our Lady of the Mount celebrations.

Where: Mount Mary Road, Near Bandra Bandstand, Bandra West.
