💭 Picture this: a rain-washed evening in Fort, the yellow glow on Kala Ghoda’s old buildings, and stories tucked into streets you’ve walked past a hundred times.

This walk follows the precinct’s many lives and the unexpected links between Bombay and Burma that still linger in its corners. We’ll wander, look up, swap stories, and then head to BURMA BURMA for their limited edition menu. ☔️

Saturday, 8 August · 5 pm
🎟️ Limited spots. Tickets via the link in bio. (Includes food)

Bring a friend or the whole family. The more people to look up at buildings with, the better. 🧢

For many of us, our understanding of Lavani is shaped by its portrayal in films. But beyond the spectacle lies a tradition shaped by centuries of poetry, performance and lived experience, carrying stories that reveal far more than what meets the eye. 🔍

Swipe to discover the many layers of Lavani.

With the Know Your Heritage series, journey through 1,200+ sites across 20 states, built on local lore and fieldwork by 22 researchers.

Join us for an experience that'll stay with you long after the weekend. 🗓️

Over the past few months, people from every corner of the city have joined us to paint homes, celebrate festivals, play cricket, document stories, and simply spend time together.

None of them needed special skills. They just showed up. 🚶‍♀️

That's exactly what The Heritage Circle is for. It's our WhatsApp community where we share invitations to these exclusive opportunities across Mumbai. They're free, open to everyone, and designed to help you experience the city with the people who keep its heritage alive.

If you've been looking for a more meaningful way to step out, this is your invitation. 📥

What stays with you long after the paint dries?

Stories of pride, memory, celebration, and belonging emerged one conversation at a time as people came together to paint Worli Koliwada.

These are a few of the voices that stayed with us.

The city's heritage continues to live in neighbourhoods that evolve with the people who call them home.

This collaboration between The Heritage Project and Birla Opus in Worli Koliwada grew from that belief. Over two months, more than 100 homes and 4 community spaces were repainted using colours inspired by the neighbourhood's own stories, traditions, and landscape.

Swipe through to explore the project and keep an eye out for our next post, to join us on-ground and hear directly from the people of Worli Koliwada.

‘What do you see? What do you want to show the world?’ 📽️

We often think of heritage as something inherited. But it is also something continuously observed, interpreted and retold by every generation.

This workshop, in collaboration with Whistling Woods International, was one small way of making space for those stories. 🔍

If you are an institution or professional who can help us take storytelling in the form of photos, videos, writing, animation, or any form to the local youth, please comment or reach out to us on [email protected] 📥

On International Yoga Day, we're reminded that yoga isn't only about movement. It's about making space, for stillness, for care, and for ourselves. 👉🏻

For two hours, a community hall in Versova Koliwada became a space where women put down everything they carry every day. 🧘‍♀️

Responsibilities, routines, expectations.

They simply arrived for themselves.

To every woman who showed up with an open heart, thank you. ❤️

For community is built not only through shared work, but also through shared moments of care.

🧘‍♀️ Happy International Yoga Day. We hope you make time to show up for yourself, too.

Thank you Shivalee Chatarji | Yoga Teacher & Pranayama Coach | 📍Mumbai. You are a hero 🌟
