The Mahim Novena is a deeply cherished nine-day devotional prayer practice in the Catholic tradition, particularly popular among Marathi-speaking Christians in Mumbai, the wider Konkan region, and the global Marathi Catholic diaspora. It is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary and is associated with the historic Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount (Mount Mary Church) in Bandra, Mumbai.
The "Mahim Novena" derives its name from the area of Mahim in Mumbai, where the devotion to Mother Mary has strong historical roots. Over time, the novena has become a standard prayer for urgent intentions, family blessings, and spiritual protection.
