Historic Girgaon.
The Students' Literary and Scientific Society's Girls' High School also called Kamalabai Brahmankar Shala, after its popular principal, opened in 1848. It was the 1st high school in Bombay for girls. In 1884 the school moved to the present premises. This shows that education for girls was of great importance and was encouraged in Maharashtra in those days.

Monochrome mania
The Mumbai Marathi Granth Sanghralay,in Girgaon, was founded on 01Aug1898 by MB Gurjar, NM Joshi, Shridhar Modak and Anant Pithkar, who were the educated elite of India those days. They started this repository of Marathi literature to satiate the thirst of the vast populace who had nowhere to go to access fine Marathi literature. Today the books there are used for research by scholars. The building has undergone a lot of changes since inception but remains true to its original purpose of literary education of the masses.
This information was provided to me by Siddhartha of Awestrich who took us on a walking tour of Girgaon.

Girgaon
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.
