Thank you Awestrich for inviting me to this wonderful walk chronicling Girgaon by the well informed tour leader Siddartha. Learnt a lot about the cultural and historical heritage of Girgaon. Walking through Girgaon is literally a walk back in time. Shall post a few pictures of the walk this week.
The Sanskrit term "Giri" stands for hills and
"gram" denotes a village. Thus, Girgaon means a village at the
foothill of mountains. The hill referred to here, is the Malabar Hill, which
is about 4kms away.
