Baan Ganga- Malabar Hill Mumbai


"As the legend goes, overcome with fatigue and thirst, Rama asked his brother Lakshmana to bring him some water. Laxman instantly shot an arrow into the ground, and water gushed forth from the ground, creating a tributary of the Ganges, which flows over a thousand miles away, hence its name, Banganga, the Ganga created on a baan (arrow)." -Wikipedia. An Oasis in the concrete desert known as Mumbai, this place needs to be properly preserved by the Govt. Its totally neglected, unkempt and uncared of, till probably January every year, when some cosmetic clean up drive is undertaken for the Banganaga Festival!
The Lamp Posts
They keep the water clean
Biodiversity!
Kids dont care
Kutka is everywhere
Old and the new
Cheek by jowl
may the wishes come true!
safe abode
and not so safe
