#ByramjeesBandra by Khaki Tours
Today, Bandra is one of Mumbai's most sought-after areas, but did you know that till 1950, it was a separate Municipality and before that, a separate island?! In the 1840s, Bandra was connected to Mumbai by the Mahim Causeway and new residents began to move in- among them, the Parsis. On the hills and seafront of Bandra, they built country homes for themselves, as well as convalescent homes for the sickly of the community. On our new walk #ByramjisBandra, we explore the origins of not just its Parsis, but that of its other immigrant cultures as well - Catholic, British, Muslim, Sindhi and Bollywood!
