Heavy rains accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning lashed several parts of Mumbai late Thursday evening.
Due to the showers, waterlogging was reported from some low-lying areas in the metropolis.
The sudden downpour took many by surprise as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) had only issued a 'yellow' alert for light to moderate rainfall in the financial capital.
The showers also hampered the ongoing Navratri festivities and spoiled 'garba' (a ritualistic and devotional dance associated with the nine-day festival) plans of many revellers.
