IVisit to a Bazar Gate

From Sasoon Dock , we now visit to Bazar Gate.

Originally, Mumbai was composed of seven islands separated by a marshy swamp. Its deep natural harbour led the Portuguese settlers of the 16th Century to call it Bom Bahia (the Good Bay). The British Crown acquired the islands in 1661when Catherine of Braganza married Charles II, as part of her marriage dowry. It was then presented to the East India Company in 1668.

Visit to Pydhonie

After completing the Bazar Gate , we now visit to a pydhonie which lies in the Mumbai City area . Pydhone is a neighbourhood in South Mumbai .The name is derived from the Marathi word Py which means feet, and dhoné which means "to wash". Thus the name means "A place where feet are washed."

Visit to Bhendi Bazar

We then move further to Bhendi Bazaar Bhendi Bazaar which is located in South Mumbai. The origin of the name is that the British residing to the south of Crawford Market in the fort area referred to this area to the north of Crawford Market as "Behind the Bazaar" the natives picked this as "Bhendi Bazaar".

Visit to Bhaji Galli

We now further proceed to Bhaji Galli. Bhaji Galli takes its name from ‘Nana’ Jagannath Shankersheth’ who owned large areas of land in this neighbourhood of Grant Road (W). It is named Shanker Sheth Lane and Jagannath Lane but, of course, nobody would remember these. They would simply know it as Bhaji Galli.
