history

In the second post of the series, we move further on our Lohagad Fort trek. If you’re interested to know about how to get to Bhaja Caves you should read my Bhaja Caves Lonavala post.

We took a halt of around 40 to 50 minutes at the Bhaja Caves Lonavala. However, we realized that we were behind our actual schedule. We decided to move quickly and take the shortest route down. It would be easy to take the steps, but that would delay us by 20 minutes. In an attempt to make up for the lost time we climbed the mountain the wrong way.

Writing job can be quite challenging and at times even boring. This is mainly because you’re continuously researching and writing about things that not necessarily piques your interest. To tackle the boredom I usually look for options that allow me to travel and visit new places. I had visited Bhaja Caves Lonavala several times earlier but this time I wanted to document it.

This is the concluding part of the Invisible Bombay Series that I started on my blog, so those who haven’t seen the earlier parts please go through those pictures as well. Here I will cover pictures of around Regal Theatre and Asiatic Library and St Thomas Cathedral which is close to Flora Fountain. So my Invisible Bombay Series starts at Flora Fountain and now ends at St Thomas Cathedral which is again near Flora Fountain completing the full circle and the photographic tour of Kala Ghoda, South Mumbai.

Here are the pictures

Kala Ghoda is renowned for its heritage buildings and that is one of the main attractions that bring people here from all walks of life. You may be a local, or from a different state in India or a complete foreigner you will fall in love with the buildings and the architecture that you see around. Thanks to the Kala Ghoda Association that they work hard to ensure that the vicinity is always looking great and visitors can explore Kala Ghoda in a better way.

Some snapshots of some heritage buildings that you will find here.

Better known as MU, Mumbai University is one of the oldest and premier universities in India. The Fort Campus is the original location of the University of Bombay and was established in 1857 and currently focuses administrative division of the university. However, more than that the structure has attracted many locals and foreign travelers because of its artistic beauty and Gothic architecture that makes it among the heritage structures around Kala Ghoda.

Here are some pictures of mine that focus on the exterior art work of Mumbai University.

You must have seen me talking a lot about Kala Ghoda and why this place in Mumbai fascinates me more than any other local attraction. Well, to be honest, I love the architectural wonders of the past compared to the modern buildings that have no sense of art at all. You might have visited Kala Ghoda several times, but I bet you might have not seen these images ever before. I am trying my best to show you Kala Ghoda from my perspective and to show you that these old heritage structures deserve better recognition than what they receive. Get ready for some more pictures.
