What to do and see in South Mumbai, Maharashtra: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

September 4, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

Though Mumbai can feel chaotic and crowded, there are peaceful moments to be found here. Nibble a paper cone of bhelpuri while you stroll the sands of Chowpatty Beach. Then, take a short walk to Mani Bhavan, where Mahatma Gandhi once lived, strategized, and was ultimately arrested. The markets are spirited places to bargain for spices or souvenirs. Take a guided tour of Dharavi – made famous by "Slumdog Millionaire" – for an eye-opening glimpse into what Mumbai life is like for nearly a million people.

I happened upon the Kulture Shop with a couple of friends walking along the streets of Mumbai, and couldn't help but walk into the beautiful store just by looking through the windows outside. Incredibly friendly employees described the concept behind the store and one friend immediately recognized several of the artists in the store - saying it was very difficult to find their art to purchase, so having it at the Kulture Shop was incredible. I especially loved how the store picks artists with varying techniques and aesthetics to showcase the diversity of Indian art. I also loved how many different options there were to purchase a given print - on a postcard, on varying sizes of posters, on a mug, etc. Overall an incredible experience - left feeling happy and that I'd learned!

I highly recommend this place as Mr Kaushik & family is very professional and highly educated. I can clearly tell they are not after your money..... rather willing to help your situation with 100% honesty and lay out possible options for you to choose from. I was very impressed as Mr Kaushik explained 'conflict of interest' situation related to his business and refrains from any astrological discussion/guidance while supporting your requirement of Gemstones. This family is absolutely trustworthy and definitely deserves your business. Good Luck Mr Kaushik...Thanks for your help !!!
