One of the seven islands of the original Bombay,
Byculla is one of the most evolved
neighbourhoods in
Mumbai that has consistently rebuilt itself for the
modern-day locals while keeping its confluence of
heritage and history intact. Once a home to only the
wealthy, Byculla is today a home to the most diverse
communities like Parsis, Iranians, Christians, Jews,
...More
Portugese, Maharashtrians and Muslims. While the
akharas (wrestling joints), world-famous Dhobi Ghat,
Mumbai’s only zoo are all sprinkled across this
suburb, the roads
quickly lead to the more popular
areas of the Haji Ali Dargah, Race Course and
the
Mahalakshmi Temple within a few minutes.
