Lovely depiction of what looks like Vacchra Dada, the pastoral deity of Gujarat with his staff and raised hand. I hope I have identified it right.

Migrant Gods of Mumbai - Koti Chennayya of Tulunadu 

In the popular Udupi restaurant at Saath Rasta called Shree Ram, they have this image of the legendary heroes of Tulunadu or the places where Tulu is spoken in what is presently Mangaluru, Udupi and Kasargod districts of Karnataka and Kerala.

Koti and Chennayya lived in the 16th Century and have shrines in their name across that region. This one had the name of a shrine in Udupi.

Mumbai has a large population of Tulu speakers including the people who run the Udipi restaurant business and that's part of this city's hertiage.

Meanwhile, they serve Samosa here with a South Indian chutney and they are famosu for their sweets.
