Panjrapol

Villages in Mumbai Series: Hen coop in Panjrapol, Deonar.

This hen coop is in a little slum where the residents rear chicken. It's rare to find such a hen coop in this space starved city.

If you look at old maps of Mumbai, you will see a large Panjrapole or animal shelters in what is now the densely populated market area in town. This however is another Panjrapol close to Chembur and there are no animal shelters that I have seen around here but we do have a bloody large slaughter house a couple of kilometers away.
