CDP Theme Day - Local history

 Brief history of Bandra 


The history of Bandra dates back to the 16th century when it was a tiny fishing village on the western coast of India. The Portuguese took control of the region in the 16th century, and Bandra was one of the areas they influenced. The Portuguese built the St. Andrew's Church in Bandra in 1575, which still stands as one of the oldest churches in Mumbai.

In the 17th century, the British gained control of Mumbai, including Bandra, as part of the dowry when King Charles II married the Portuguese princess Catherine of Braganza. During British rule, Mumbai underwent significant development and Bandra started evolving from a fishing village to a more urbanized area.

After India gained independence in 1947, Mumbai continued to grow as an economic and cultural hub. Bandra, including Bandra East, became a prominent suburb with a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial developments.

In the above animation are some of the famous landmarks of Bandra.

CDP Theme Day - My favourite part of town


Home is where the heart is, sang Elvis Presley and rightly so! 

I love to spend my time looking out from my window at the Banyan tree, watching nature reveal its nature.

CDP Theme Day - Luxury


For this street vendor this place is a luxury where he can rest in the afternoon for a siesta and browse through the internet on his phone. It is a sign that business is lax in the afternoon,

CDP Theme Day - Soft


You can hear the soft crunch when you bite into the soft wada pao and the fried chilli, followed by a soft humming sound in your ears 😇. This is a very popular snack in Mumbai. It defines Mumbai. Hot and happening!
