Talaash! Which part of Mumbai do you want to see?

Choitram Gidwani Marg + Nesbit Road





Urban Gods: Muppdathi Amman - a deity from South TN. The auto driver told me that it's from Tirunelveli region of Tamil Nadu.


And in Bandra I met a very happy devotee of Swami Adgadanadji. The auto driver told me that the Swami's ashram is in Rajasthan and he goes there every year on his way home which is close to Benares in UP.





Further south in Byculla. I took this old Fiat taxi that has a faded and different looking Ganesh. The Taxiwallah told me that it is a picture of a Ganesh idol from a temple Mathura in UP

A Ganesh from the city of Mathura, UP
