Once known as 'Mazagao' to the Portuguese and 'Mazhgav' to Marathi speakers, the historic precinct of Mazagon has evolved from a humble fishing village into a living chronicle of Mumbai's diverse heritage.

Continuing Avid Learning's journey through the Precincts series, we arrive at our third stop, Mazagon, a microcosm of the city's rich history and culture. From the iconic Hasanabad Mausoleum and Magen David Synagogue to the Chinese Kwan Kung Tai Shek, Mazgaon's architectural landscape narrates the unique stories of its diverse inhabitants. The quaint Matharpacady Village, with its Portuguese-inspired homes and lively festivals, offers a glimpse into the traditions of the East Indian Christian community, one of Mumbai's oldest. 

Join us as we delve into the heart of Mazagon, where the confluence of histories, cultures, and communities comes alive.
