What's on in Mumbai

There are some great annual events in Mumbai that have put the on the map:

Kala Ghoda Bazaar (November to January)
Expats can experience real Indian culture at the Kala Ghoda Bazaar where the sounds of street musicians and the aromas of delicious local foods fill the air. These street bazaars take place every Sunday over two months near the Jehangir Art Gallery.

Ganesh Chaturthi (September)
Expats who are unaccustomed to the Hindu religion will love the festivities that surround the birthday of Ganesha, the elephant-headed God of Wisdom and Prosperity.

Elephanta Festival (February)
A fantastic day out for expats, a ferry carries passengers from the Gateway of India in Colaba to the small island of Elephanta. Here, renowned dancers and musicians perform against the backdrop of the island’s caves which are dedicated to the god Shiva.
