First People of Mumbai: On-ground Walk of Worli Village

Nov 14 '21 | 08:00 AM (IST)

Event Information



Have you heard of the talking Godeess of Mumbai that speaks to its devotees? Or a unique hindu mosque, that is prayed to by all? Have you visited a unique clubhouse that houses the dead Or a met a deity that possesses you if you walk past by it? Have you seen a participated in a festival where people go nuts? Or heard the British love affair with a fish that gave it its unique name? 


This Weekend: Join us on a slow walk through the eight hundred year old village of Worli Koliwada thats transports you to a land of lesser known stories: of people, places, superstitions, legends, myths, history and traditions. What ‘s fascinating is that nothing has changed since the time of the first settlement – Be it the way they make their nets, catch their fish, do their business, their beliefs, the custom or age-old traditions.


One such cultural insignia is the Golfa Devi – The Goddess who talks to its devotees. Loved and adored by all the village-folk, this stone idol counsels its devotees in a unique 2-way communication. Walk-in here on an idle Sunday afternoon, and you will see hundreds of devotees queuing up outside the temple to get a solution to their problems. Such is the power of the Devi.


So join us to hear some more unknown tales and visit little-known cultural and historic spaces that truly make Mumbai and its history and culture unique. 


P.S: We also have a surprise performance for you on the tour.
