This place is excellent to spend some excellent time with your family. This is must visit place during Mumbai visit. 2 to 3 hrs time required to spend here. Entry is free and open upto 7 PM. It is near water world. Camera is allowed here and food corner is also available inside.

This is a quiet place. Entry is free. Try not to visit on a hot day. Cameras are not allowed on the premises, though you can click photos on phone. Good to spend 2-3 hours. You will connect better if you have done vipassana before. The route from Mira Road to the pagoda is beautiful too. Parking ground is very close and has adequate space.

The pagoda is a welcome break from the bustle of the metropolis of Mumbai. The golden spire sits atop a large stone dome, one of the largest in the world, and the apex of the dome is said to contain ashes of the Buddha. Fountains, gardens, and a replica Ashoka column adorn the complex. Most impressively of all though, is the descendant of the Bodhi tree in Mahabodhi, under which the Buddha is said to have attained Enlightenment 2500 years ago. Whether one is a Buddhist or not, it is impressive to be able to have such a connection to such an ancient tradition. Obviously this is a religious and meditative site and visitors should behave with respect here.

I had been to this place long back before covid. I have never visited such calm and peaceful place before. They have so many sitting places available where you can just sit and calm yourself. They have an amazing chamber (i don't know what they call it) which is in the centre of this place where i saw people in meditating. After speaking to some people there i got to know that they sit here for hours and hours to find inner peace. They have got food stalls installed too where you get food at reasonable price and quality is also very good. So many good places to capture. I just enjoyed being there during my visit. P.s- i don't the protocols post covid so before visiting you must inquire and then go. I am sure you will like the place.

Vipassana gives you sense of peace. And when you visit Pagoda its magical. You don't feel like going out. You just want to stay there and meditate. Enjoy the silence. And if you visiting this place and if this place is giving you so much. Request you please contribute so that this temple can be maintained for coming generations

We planned a weekend day trip to the Pakoda with a friend and were surprised as to how different the vibe was as soon as we reached the parking area gates. The walk to the Pagoda was beautiful, with trees and fields. Some cars were parked on the roadside, so I assume you can reach the compound by car if you negotiate with the watchmen. Once we reached the compound we took some time to sit on the grass in the shade and cool down. The Pakoda itself was relatively ascetic compared to my friend’s expectations, without any deities, mounts or bells found in Hindu temples. I was impressed by the sheer size of the dome from inside, as well as the peace that radiated all around the area. We enjoyed some chole and ice cream at the cafeteria after exploring the compound and clicking pictures with randomers. After the day trip we felt rejuvenated as if we’d been on a short holiday. Definitely worth a visit if you want to chill and see a bit of nature outside of the hectic city.

A very beautiful, 29-metre high pagoda, built as a place of peace, harmony, and meditation. This modern day pagoda, designed after the ancient pagodas of Myanmar, was inaugurated in 2009. Its meditation hall has a seating capacity of approximately 8,000 people. The largest dome houses the bone relics of Gautama Buddha. Truly very impressive.

We visited the Global Pagoda and must say it was one to not forget. It is a little away from main Mumbai and one has to travel quite a bit to reach there. But it is worth every bit. There is the main pagoda which can house thousands of meditators to practice meditation. There are gardens and also a special room showing the life of Gautam the Buddha via paintings. There are souvenir shops where one can buy some good items. There is enough to do and see for atleast 3-4 hours. We need to ensure that we maintain silence and wear appropriate clothing while around the main dome, as this is a place where we might find people meditating in the dome, and should not disturb them.
