Mahim Urs – Street Food Haven

The end of December is marked for the Urs in celebration of the death anniversary of Hazrat Shaikh Makhdoom Ali Mahimi of the Mahim Dargah, An event that sees the faithful throng from all over the city and beyond, is especially revered by the Mahim Police Force. Another example of the eclectic potpourri of cultures that Bombay is, and has always been. Amidst all this fanfare, the roads turn into a haven for street food.  My mobile camera and I had a little rendezvous that I bring to you. Enjoy!
