Bhuleshwar
Bhuleshwar, north of Mumbai's Fort, is a labyrinth of lanes steeped in history. Named for its ancient Bhuleshwar Shiva Temple (13th century), the area throbs with over 100 temples and the echoes of pilgrims. Bustling Bhuleshwar Market and the gem-laden Zaveri Bazaar showcase its commercial side, while the Bombay Panjrapole, the city's oldest animal shelter, reflects its compassion. Bhuleshwar's soul lies in this captivating blend of ancient faith, vibrant commerce, and historical treasures.
Girgaon
Steeped in history, Girgaum in south Mumbai boasts narrow streets and vintage buildings. Once a village with coconut trees, its name reflects its location at the foot of Malabar Hill (giri - hill, gram - village). Today, Charni Road and Grant Road stations provide easy access. Queens Road (Maharshi Karve Road) connects via Charni Road, while Thakurdwar Road (Babasaheb Jaykar Marg) leads to the 176-year-old Bombay Panjrapole animal infirmary. For electronics enthusiasts, Lamington Road beckons. Movie buffs can catch a show at historic single-screen cinemas like Nishat and Shalimar Talkies. The Parsi colony of Cama Baug, St. Teresa's Church, the restored Royal Opera House (1909), and the Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Parsee Charitable Institution are cultural gems. Girgaum Chowpatty beach, once the entry point for the sea, is a popular spot, while Charni Road station, established in 1867, offers train connectivity.
