== History ==
The Ram Mandir Road station, the 37th station on the [[Western line (Mumbai Suburban Railway)|Western Line]], was inaugurated on 22 December 2016, by Railway Minister [[Suresh Prabhu]], after seemingly interminable stages of construction since 2008. Its first train, running from {{stnlnk|Churchgate}} to towards [[Borivali railway station|Borivli]], arrived at 6 pm, while another bound for Churchgate pulled up at 6.10 pm.

The station has four platforms, two each for Western line slow trains and two for [[Harbour line (Mumbai Suburban Railway)|Harbour line section]]. Harbour line was extended to {{stnlnk|Goregaon}} on 29 March 2018.<ref>{{cite news |last1=PTI |title=Mumbai's Harbour Line services extended till Goregaon; Railway Minister Piyush Goyal says it will soon stretch till Borivali - India News , Firstpost |url=https://www.firstpost.com/india/mumbais-harbour-line-services-extended-till-goregaon-railway-minister-piyush-goyal-says-it-will-soon-stretch-till-borivali-4411735.html |access-date=10 March 2021 |work=Firstpost |date=30 March 2018}}</ref>

The station got its name from a 150 year old temple of Lord Ram. The temple is located on sprawling grounds, in Goregaon West, and its weathered dome lends it a pleasant patina of age. A signboard inside the temple informs visitors that it was renovated in 1897, and residents say that a temple existed at the current location prior to that year. The idols—of Lord Ram, Lakshman and Sita—inside the sanctum sanctorum of the smaller temple, were transferred to the renovated structure.{{Citation needed|date=March 2017}}
