IN PHOTOS: 5 interesting facts about Girgaon every Mumbaikar must know

We have curated five interesting facts about Mumbai's popular locality Girgaon or Girgaum known for its diverse architecture, Portuguese-style buildings, and Raj-era landmarks. The recent industrial development and upcoming metro projects have changed the landscape of Girgaon. Earlier, the area had no high-rise towers and was marked by a close-knit community. In the 19th century, Girgaon and the adjoining agricultural locality of Khetwadi were sparsely populated, with primitive roads and simple houses. It comprised a collection of coconut plantations, garden estates like Borbhat and Mugbhat, and dense forests of ber, ack, and plantain. The extracts have been taken with permission from the book, "Bombay: The Cities Within" by Rahul Mehrotra and Sharada Dwivedi, and published by Eminence Designs Pvt. Ltd. Compiled by Ainie Rizvi
