Worli

Worli is a fishing village located in the heart of Mumbai.  Our apartment is not visible in this photo but if you look across the bay it would be on a hill right behind the the red post.
 
This lady in the fish market was so proud of her pretty

Worli has a proud heritage that extends to the upkeep of  the exterior of their houses and streets.  Most of the buildings in Mumbai are mildewed and badly in need of paint but here most houses were brightly painted.

November is the most 'auspicious' wedding month.  There were 3 weddings  on the day we walked through Worli.  Here the groom is being washed in turmeric to improve his appearance.

The outgoing fisherman are often musicians as well and this man serenaded us for half an hour as we wandered around his end of town.

These two boys were part of a wedding party and asked me to take their photo.
