Did you know that Gamdevi, once known as 'Gaondevi,' is named after the 'goddess who guards' the locality? This charming neighborhood emerged as a response to early 20th-century Bombay's housing needs, balancing affordability with livability.
Continuing Avid Learning's journey through Uncovering Urban Legacies: Precincts series, we arrive at our next stop, Gamdevi, a microcosm of the city's rich history and culture. From the historic August Kranti Maidan, where the Quit India Movement was born, to Jyoti Studio, the cradle of early Bollywood talkies, Gamdevi encapsulates pivotal moments in India's political and cultural narrative. Each episode will spotlight one iconic precinct, exploring its historical significance, architectural splendor, diverse cultural expressions, and culinary landscape shaping the city’s multicultural fabric and cosmopolitan character. Our panelists will also examine Gamdevi’s thoughtful urban planning that blends low-rise buildings with high-density development, wide tree-lined streets, and ample public spaces.
Join us as we peel back the layers of Gamdevi's fascinating story, uncovering its unique blend of historical significance, architectural character, and cultural contributions.
