Marine Drive is
the place where Mumbai citizens hang out to cool down a while and
to relax from the tensed and busied life. As street lamps
orderly line up on the edge of the beach, Marine
Drive is also known as the Queen's
Necklace because
if viewed at night from an elevated point anywhere along the
drive, the street lights resemble a string of pearls,forming a
necklace. It is also the world's largest viewing gallery and
hence has been a host to a number of events that take place along
the seafront. It is the major attraction in Mumbai city. It is a
tourist place. Several Hindu religious
ceremonies are taking place at Chowpatty like annual thread-tying
ceremony, nariel-purnima and Ganesh Chaturthi immersions. Stalls
on the beach, selling Bhelpuri, Kulfi and Paan make the chowpatty
testy.

If
you're feeling energetic, a stroll down Marine Drive is possibly
the best way to discover Mumbai. This is a unbarred winds at
seafront, flanked by the sea. It is also one of Mumbai's busiest
roads, an important artery for the heavy suburban traffic heading
downtown. Cars whiz continually past the two mile stretch, past
huddled lovers, children and babies in baby carriage . Like other
seafronts, this is where most of south Mumbai comes to breathe in
some fresh air. It is the most amazing place to visit .
