Mythical Mumbai – Part 3
Folktales, Legends & Myths of the Metropolis
with Arundhuti Dasgupta and Utkarsh Patel

Mumbai has always been known as the financial powerhouse of the nation, but it is also a repository of legends. Be it the city's Buddhist legacy that built heroes out of ordinary people or the animistic past that bestowed a range of spirits to guard over the city's evolving pantheon of gods, the myths and legends of Mumbai are tied to the growth of the city, its landmark spots and its culture.

The lecture will look at:
1. The legends around the places of Mumbai
2. The legends around the early spread of Buddhism
3. The spirits of Mumbai and their relationship with the places and forms of worship in the city.
