1868 establishments in India19th-century architecture in India

The Sindoor Bridge, historically known as the Carnac Bridge, is a critical east-west road over bridge (ROB) located in South Mumbai, India. Spanning the Central Railway tracks between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Masjid Bunder railway station, it connects P.D. Mello Road with Mohammad Ali Road and Lokmanya Tilak Marg. First constructed in 1868 during the British colonial era, the 154-year-old historic bridge was demolished in late 2022 after structural audits deemed it unsafe. It was completely rebuilt by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and reopened to traffic on 10 July 2025 under its new official name, Sindoor Bridge.

Masjid railway station
Masjid railway station

Masjid (station code: MSD) is a railway station in the Masjid Bunder area of South Mumbai on the Central and Harbour lines of the Mumbai Suburban Railway. It is the penultimate stop for all trains on those lines in the "up" direction. It was opened in 1877. The station is named after a masjid (mosque) annexed to this Suburban Railway Station. Contrary to popular belief a synagogue, is never called a masjid. This Railway station is in Mandvi Section. According to The Gazetteer of Bombay City and Island (1909), “The Masjid station of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, which earns a name from a wealthy mosque in the neighbourhood, is situated about the middle of the section; and close at hand is the Masjid Bandar bridge"The station has four platforms (two for Harbour Line and two for Main Line). The volume of passengers on this station is very high due to different wholesale markets (i.e., Crawford Market) surrounding the station. These markets, referred to as bazaars, have various wholesale merchants, called stockists. Stockists from the Iron Market (Lokhand Bazaar), situated on the Eastern side of the railway station and Diamond Traders situated on Western side make trades of millions of Rupees each day in the markets. The southern end towards CSMT leads to Yousuf Mehar Ali Road, Jama Masjid, Kalbadevi, Crawford Market, Mandvi and the surrounding area. Due to the docks, Masjid is a prominent area recognized as the hub of the larger shipping and maritime companies of India. The first office of the Reliance Commercial Corporation was set up at the Narsinathan Street in Masjid Bunder.

Pydhonie
Pydhonie

Pydhonie is a neighbourhood in South Mumbai. Etymologically the name is derived from the Marathi word Py which means feet, and dhoné which means "to wash". Thus the name means "A place where feet are washed." The name Pydhonie or "foot-wash", and probably refers to a small creek that formed at high tide between the Great Breach (separating the islands of Bombay and Worli) and Umarkhadi, the creek between the islands of Mazagaon and Mumbai (Bombay). This was probably the first land permanently reclaimed from the sea in Mumbai. Pydhonie separates the predominantly Muslim population of the eastern part of the inner city from the mainly Hindu part to the west. The main landmark is the Mumbadevi Temple, moved here from the Fort area in 1737 or 1766. The present structure was financed by a Prabhu goldsmith called Pandurang Shivaji. Many of the older houses in this area were built by immigrants from Gujarat and Rajasthan, and have the murals on the walls, jharokhas, balconies and ornate lintels typical of architecture from these states. The ‘1860 ’ engraved police station is the oldest in the city and has a history in the 1993 Bombay bombings, which followed the Bombay riots, wherein the "first bullet during the riots was fired near the Pydhonie station and the first bus stoning during the riots also happened in this jurisdiction," said Madhukar Zende, who was the ACP during the 1993 riots and is famous for his arrest of serial killer Charles Sobhraj.
