Chowpatty Beach: The beach is renowned all over the world thanks to the Bollywood movies. But if you had any ideas about swimming or sunbathing, it would be quickly dispelled.

If you happen to be Chowpatty during August/September , don’t miss the annual Ganesh Chaturthi Festival in when the elephant-headed god of financial well being are dropped into waters.
