Chowpatty beach-Porbandar


      Chowpatty beach is situated at the top end of Marine Drive. It is the only beach in the central part of Mumbai. This beach is the venue where many Hindu religious ceremonies can be witnessed like the annual thread-tying ceremony initiating young boys into the Brahmin caste. Another festival 'Nariel Purnima' is celebrated towards the end of the monsoons. Here the idols of Ganesha are immersed on the last day of 'Ganesh Chaturthi'.

  1. Munch on Bhelpuri and soak in the beauteous views of Chowpatty Beach and Marine Drive- Mumbai Style. There is no dearth of tourist attractions in Mumbai that appeal tourists to explore the city again and again. For accommodation, check out these hotels in Mumbai.
