Saturday Photohunt - In Memory



Crawford Market (officially Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Market) is one of South Mumbai's most famous markets. It is named after Arthur Crawford, the first Municipal Commissioner of the city. The market is situated opposite the Mumbai Police headquarters, just north of Victoria Terminus railway station and west of the J.J.flyover at a busy intersection. The market houses a wholesale fruit, vegetable and poultry market. One end of the market is a pet store. Most of the sellers inside the market nowadays sell imported items such as foods, cosmetics, household and gift items. It was the main wholesale market for fruits in Mumbai until March 1996, when the wholesale traders were relocated to Navi Mumbai (New Bombay). The building, completed in 1869, was donated to the city by Cowasji Jehangir. After India's independence, the market was renamed after Maharashtrian social reformer, Mahatma Jyotirao Phule, whose statue is placed at the entrance.

This is the ubiquitious pao of Mumbai. A fast food mainstay to be eaten with a lot of savories or in the old Irani restaurants would be eaten with a dollop of butter and chai.

Camera Critters

This cute little bird came and sang for me yesterday. Unfortunatley I could not get a very clear picture. Please excuse the blur. Am not a birder so do not know the name. It has a fan tail and trills beautifully.
