India GODadar & Shivaji Park
The Marathi Heart
The dawn flower market, Siddhivinayak and old-school thali houses.
The city's Marathi heart: at dawn the flower market unfurls under Dadar bridge, Prabhadevi holds Siddhivinayak (Mumbai's most revered Ganesha temple) and around Shivaji Park, where Tendulkar learned to bat, sit old Marathi coffee houses and thali homes. This is Mumbai for its own people: no gloss, and the state's best home cooking.

Staying here
Every train line meets here, making it a handy base if junction noise doesn't bother you.
In the evening
An early neighbourhood: the flower market lives at dawn; evenings mean thalis and quiet.
