About this locality

Mahim is one of Mumbai's oldest settlements — a locality of deep historical roots sitting at the narrow causeway where the island of Mahim meets Bandra across Mahim Bay. The Mahim Dargah of Hazrat Makhdoom Ali Mahimi — one of Mumbai's most revered shrines, sacred to devotees of all faiths — gives Mahim its spiritual identity and draws pilgrims throughout the year. The Mahim church of Our Lady of Grace, one of Mumbai's oldest Portuguese-era churches, and the ancient Mahim Fort ruins speak to the layered history of this coastal locality.

Mahim's character is one of communal harmony and coexistence — the dargah, the church and Hindu temples exist in close proximity, and the neighbourhood's residents — a mix of Koli fishing families, Muslim communities, East Indian Catholics and Maharashtrian families — have maintained this pluralistic character across generations.
