It's widespread not only in Rajasthan but you'll find many men keeping big mustaches in different Indian states. The men spend time and money to maintain their mustaches. It is a daily practice for them to massage them with mustard oil every day and then press them into shape by tying a cloth around their face. Rajasthani Mooch is a pride of men in India, especially for men of Rajasthan. In olden times mustaches often indicated somebody's caste status. Not so now

"The Mumbai Dabbawalas:
A Century-Long Tradition of Delivering Home-Cooked Meals
For more than a hundred years, the Mumbai Dabbawallas have been a lifeline for nearly 200,000 Mumbaikars. With a team of 5,000 individuals, all wearing traditional Gandhi caps, they transport homemade food between homes and offices.

The service originated in 1890 when a Parsi banker requested home-cooked meals at his workplace and hired the first-ever Dabbawalla to fulfil his request. The demand for Dabba delivery soon skyrocketed due to its popularity. Mahadeo Havaji Bachche saw the potential and transformed the lunch delivery service into the team-delivery system that we see today, with 100 Dabbawalas."

A glimpse of Gudi Padwa 2023❤️

Holi is one of India’s largest and most popular Hindu holidays, taking place every year between February and March. Spend the day with us learning about life in Dharavi and celebrating this colorful holiday safely and authentically with the community.

It's no secret that there are a lot of delicious street foods in India, like Pani Puri, Vada Pav, and Batata Vada, but Pav Bhaji is particularly unique for its intoxicating aroma. Pav Bhaji is an Indian fast food consisting of a thick, spicy vegetable gravy served with soft bread rolls. In Hindi and Marathi, the word "pav" means "bread roll" or "dinner roll", and "bhaji" means "a vegetable dish". Since these are served together as a meal, it is known as Pav Bhaji. You will find this everywhere, right from upscale restaurants to school and college canteens and street-side push carts in India. But it is said that you get the best pav bhaji in Mumbai!

Built-in 1875 on reclaimed land, Sassoon Docks is one of the oldest docks in Mumbai. A visit to the docks is almost always overwhelming. The stench of fish extends for miles; the sight of colorful boats and their flags competes with the colorful saris of Koli (a Marathi fishing community) fishermen. There are buckets full of fish and other sea creatures; streets peppered with hacked pieces, and small pools of blood dotting every few steps. It is certainly not for a weak stomach. More than 1,500 trawlers bring in around 20 tonnes of catch every day. Fast forward to almost two centuries later, the docks retain their name even though their ownership and economic activity have changed. Located in Colaba in South Mumbai, it is now home to Mumbai’s oldest and largest wholesale fish markets. This site in itself offers a livelihood to over 150,000 people, clocking a daily turnover of about Rs 2 crore (US $300,000), of which half is exported.

Let's talk beyond the busy streets of Mumbai or the beautiful destinations in India. There are many parts of India where technology still doesn't exist and people still work without machines. In rural India, brickmakers work the same as they did earlier: they make bricks with their hands, using mud and brick molds. Brickmakers work for local industries and get paid monthly or shift-wise. All of the family members work together to fulfill their financial needs. They have built their houses next to the place where they work. If you have ever been on our village tour, you might have gotten an idea of how these people survive.

Dharavi is located in the heart of Mumbai. Founded during the British colonial era, it has a population of about a million. Over the years, it has become a cheap alternative for those who move to Mumbai to earn a living. And while the Dharavi slum is well-known for being densely populated, movies like "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Gully Boy" have significantly brought it to the limelight. A lot of people don't see Dharavi as a business hub, but it is no less important than any multimillion-dollar company. There are thousands of small-scale industries thriving in Dharavi. Many of their items are leather accessories and clothing, as well as pottery and textiles. There are many big brands and designers who get their original products made by workers in Dharavi.

Getting camera-ready💁🏼‍♀️ Mahalaxmi Dhobi Ghat Mumbai is the world's largest open-air laundry. Dhobi Ghat is another great place to see how family members work together to fulfill their financial needs. Dhobi Ghat has seen this occupation passed down from one generation to the next.

Mohammed Ali Road is known to be one of the most famous street food destinations in Mumbai. This is probably one of the few places in Mumbai that has very few options for vegetarians. Mohammed Ali Road is usually crowded even post-midnight and is bustling with people dining with their families and friends. Often, most restaurants are takeaway outlets where there aren’t tables and chairs set up for you to dine right there.

Watching the colorful flower market in Dadar East, Mumbai unfolds at 5 AM every morning is a sight. It's chaotically beautiful, and the colors can soothe your senses. The tiny, narrow lane is lined with kiosks, stalls, and even wooden planks with one thing in common, flowers and the sweet fragrance that awaits us. We found roses, lotuses, gerberas, crimsons, lilies, marigolds, chrysanthemums, and peonies to only name a few. You can surely visit this place on our Local Transport & Dabbawallah Tour!!

The Gateway of India is an arch monument built during the 20th century in Bombay, India. The monument was erected to commemorate the landing of King George V and Queen Mary at Apollo Bunder on their visit to India in 1911. Built in Indo-Saracenic style, the foundation stone for the Gateway of India was laid on 31 March 1911. The structure is an arch made of basalt, 26 metres (85 feet) high. The final design of George Wittet was sanctioned in 1914 and the construction of the monument was completed in 1924

We time-traveled to simpler times at Kumbharwada – the potter’s colony in Dharavi. Its existence can be traced back to as early as the 19th century when the local and skilled potters from Gujarat migrated to the city. They brought their culture, art, and decades-old pottery skills. Thus, bringing along their cultural, artistic, and decade-old skills.
