About Breach Candy
What are the main landmarks in Breach Candy?
The neighbourhood reads through its landmarks. Breach Candy gathers a run of Mumbai institutions, from the freedom-movement house of Mani Bhavan to the marine tanks of the Taraporewala Aquarium and the exhibits of the Nehru Science Centre a short way off. Cinema has a home here too.
The National Museum of Indian Cinema draws film pilgrims, while the ornate Khada Parsi statue and the heritage lanes of Khotachiwadi mark the older Parsi and East Indian layers of the surrounding city.
What is the history of Breach Candy?
Mumbai's colonial century shaped these blocks. The house at Mani Bhavan carries the deepest story, sheltering Mahatma Gandhi through years of the freedom struggle and kept since as a museum of that campaign, while churches like Ambroli Church and Emmanuel Church trace the mixed Christian and Parsi settlement of the district. Faith left visible marks.
The wrought-iron Khada Parsi memorial and the preserved cottages of Khotachiwadi still record the communities who built up this stretch of southern Mumbai before the high-rises rose.
Where is Breach Candy?
Breach Candy is a low seaward district of southern Mumbai on a warm tropical shore, its streets running between the Taraporewala Aquarium near the water and the rise toward All Saints' Church inland.
