Marine Drive

Monday, March 3, 2014

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 .
