Sunset at Bandra Bandstand Promenade

We went to Bandra Bandstand recently on a weekend after a long time. Bandstand is a regular hangout for couples, and like many seafronts in Mumbai it is crowded on a Sunday.

Bandstand, a kilometre long walkway along the sea, is normally associated with celebrities who reside in the area, the popular Shahrukh Khan's bungalow Mannat is facing the sea, and there are hordes of people waiting outside his bungalow, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.

We took some pictures of Bandstand and watched the sunset.

The promenade is revamped, which is always welcomed, we've (locals) had enough of those uneven paths. People enjoy taking a stroll, jogging or just sitting on chairs and looking at passer-bys.There were loads of people on the rocks, mostly couples, looking at the waves lashing against the shore, and looking at the beautiful sunset.While some were washing their clothes, there are also few slums on the shoreline.

Bandra Fort is located right at the end of road adjacent to Hotel Taj Land's End. We couldn't go there this time, but several music concerts take place in its open air theatre. Its a wonderful location to listen to music, look at the swaying palm trees and the Arabian sea as the backdrop.

Opposite that is Lover's Point, the name says it all. The cops make lot of money too by harrowing young couples.

In Mumbai sea fronts are generally cluttered with food stalls selling typical Mumbai delicacies, so to say. From pani puri to corn, sandwiches, ice-cream, etc., everything is available for families to enjoy their Sunday evening.My favorite wind wheels available for Rs 5.There is a small walkway from Bandstand which take you to the famous Mt Mary Church, which is on a hillock.
