Architecture

The hall in front of the garbha griha was rebuilt in 1879 by raising funds and donations. It was later again renovated in 1996. The temple was earlier on the banks of the Masunda Lake(Talao Pali) but is currently separated by the Shivaji Road which reaches to the Thane railway station. The temple has two entrances- one located opposite Masunda Lake and another inside the Jambhli Naka market. There are six small temples inside the Main Shiva shrine complex at Kopineshwar Mandir which are dedicated to Ram, Shitala Devi, Brahma Dev, Maruti, Kalika Devi and Uttareshwar. Just opposite to the small shrine of Kalika Devi there is another shrine which is dedicated to Gayatri Devi. Many of these temples offer the striking and appealing view of the temple.
