Exploring Bombay- Banganga

Banganga, Walkeshwar.

So, my friends and me had an exploration after a long time. This time it was a visit to the Banganga tank at Walkeshwar, Malabar hill. It is the much heard of place as there used to be musical concerts that took place there called the Banganga Festival.

We went there and we saw so many things happening there. There were kids playing cricket and an enthusiast foreigner who played with them.

There were a group young people, I'm guessing students photographing different things around the place.

There were also a group of women who were singing and very well.

 The mythological story that goes with this place is, Lord Ram, was tired and asked his brother to bring him some water. So Lakshman instantly shot an arrow into the ground, and water gushed forth from the ground, creating a tributary of the Ganges, which flows over a thousand miles away, hence its name, Ban Ganga.

As it is supposed to be a holy place, there were a lot of temples around at every nook and corner.

There were ducks and geese. It was amazing to see them and when we went close to them they were all running away.

It's such a great place. Quiet, Peaceful, Enjoyable.

You can just sit there for hours.

The only turn off was the water was not clean, well that was expected.

This time in our expedition, our dear friend Maria joined us who we met after years as she was away. So this was our reunion. :)
