**Mount Poinsur** is located in the suburb of [Borivali](/source/Borivali) west, [Mumbai](/source/Mumbai). It is the site of [St. Francis of Assisi Church, Mt. Poinsur](/source/St._Francis_of_Assisi_Church,_Mt._Poinsur).[1] [Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Church, Borivali](/source/Our_Lady_of_Immaculate_Conception_Church,_Borivali) and the St. Francis School run by the Missionary Brothers of Paulus Moritz are located there.

In the caves near Mount Poinsur, there was an 8th century Mandapeshwar rock-cut shrine of Shiva. Above the cave were also ruins of a Portuguese church.[2] Many East Indians were living in that area.[3]
