Bhelpuri at Juhu beach.

This is Bhelpuri shop at Juhubeach.
This is Bhelpuri shop,dont miss eating one of the puri:) .I usualy wont advice to eat road side shops.One must taste,its hygnic only,eheheh nothing happend to me next day.
I had Bhelpuri,:)) so yummyyyyyyy ,after it was good tasteing only i took the pic :).
The display too beautiful&colorful isn't?!

Juhu beach itself you can see many shops selling Bhelpuri.I was told by friend who is from Mumbai at Evening you wont get place to stand there.It will be all busy,when evening people comes to Beach.So my suggestion is ,anyone goes there you must eat one of the Bhelpuri.It will be spicy,dont forget to ask less chilly.

Address: Juhu beach

Juhu beach is one of famous hangout for Mumbai people.

Archaelogical Survey of India Museum

Elephenta caves is 1hr launch ride from Gateway of India.
This pic inside of Museum.Before entering to see Caves,have a look at Museum here.
They displayed pic from all caves,including Ajantha,Eellora,and
Elephenta caves pics with details.Its all about caves,Elephenta caves are giant caves
,with most impressive sculpture all inside the caves.
Its all about diffrent sculpture of Lord Shiva.
The pic shows details of Sadashiva,this is main most striking Shiva is Maheshmurthi,with 6m high,and three headed Shiva,dipicting him in his 3 aspects as Creator,Destroyer&Preserver.This inside the hall,count get enough light
so the pic came very dark :(.
Caves sides can see massive sculptured panels ,showing Hindu mythology.

Better get one guide, he will explain,if we see ourselfs we may miss many details:).
After getting down from boat ride,you have walk 1/2 km to caves,train (look like toy train from distance :)))runs,Rs4,it will take u near to Caves.
But again one has take steps to reach top of the caves.So better take water bottle:).
There are few hotels are there,usully it took half day trip from Mumbai,have to pack something to eat.Hotels all looking dirty heheheh,i coun"t eat anything there :(.Bottled drinks ok.

Address: Elephenta caves.

Mani Bhavan(Ghandi Sangaralaya)- Gandhiji house Mani Bhavan Review

Mumbai must be lucky to have Mani Bhavan.Its place where Gandhiji used to
stay there from 1917-1934. Its one of the important Gandhi Memorial Museums in the country and it acts as research institute in Ghandhian thought&Rural Development by the Mumbai Unversity.Ground floor ,they have liabrary,more than 50,000 books for reference &lending section.

The pic you see is,where Ganddhiji living room at second floor ,they are trying to
preserve as far as possible,visiters can see thro glass.
First floor can see Picture Gallery,displaying from Ganddji life,all orignal pics.
From his childhood to later years.
There is one room, min figures showing important event in Gandhiji life,
it must be more than 28 tableaux ,with good lighting arrangement.Interesting to see small figures.

Have a look of few pic at my travalogue.
I thought there wont be any crowd here,i find many foreigners,with guide.
It was really nice to see people, interested to know about Gandhiji.
Inside ground floor,near entrance they have sales counter,can buy Postage stamps,Statues etc

Working hours,9.30am to 6pm on all days open.

Address: 19,Laburnum Road,Gamdevi,Mumbai-400007
