Bombay – Meri Jaan
Photos of a few must-see places that are off the beaten path in Bombay-Mumbai – the liveliest city in the world!
1. Banganga – a stepped well born of a fresh-water spring 200 m away from the sea. A place for modern-day music festivals and traditional ceremonies.
A temple in Walkeshwar sandwiched between buildings in the space-starved megat-city
Buildings in the Kala Ghoda area:
A synagogue I saw for the first time decades after falling in love with the city:
A beautiful library building: David Sassoon Library:
The Bhau Daji Lad Museum at Byculla
Most of the places above are so off-the-beaten-track that a hardcore Bombayite like me saw them for the first time after decades of living in and loving this city!
More photos of more places to follow soon.
