Did you know that the iconic Shivaji Park was originally called Mahim Park? Coinciding with the 300th birth anniversary celebrations of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, it became known by its present name resonating with the spirit, pride, and identity of the city's ethos. After an in-depth exploration of the unique diasporas that shaped the city, Avid Learning presents the next installment of its acclaimed programming series Uncovering Urban Legacies, turning the focus to precincts – areas of heritage and cultural significance. Each episode of this series will spotlight one iconic precinct, exploring its historical significance, architectural splendor, diverse cultural expressions, and culinary landscape shaping the city’s multicultural fabric and cosmopolitan character. Shivaji Park embodies the profound significance of political and social gatherings witnessed before and after India's independence. This hallowed ground is not only the cradle of Indian cricket, but has been a canvas where diverse artistic expressions have flourished across music, theatre, and architecture.
Join us as we unveil the multifaceted layers of Shivaji Park's legacy and explore the evolving narrative of this storied neighborhood.
