Things to do in Byculla, Mazgaon & Lalbaug

Byculla and neighbouring Mazgaon and Lalbaug sit between the old island city and the former mill lands. The Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Mumbai's oldest museum, reopened in January 2025 after restoration and runs exhibitions, talks and workshops next to the Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan, the Byculla zoo and botanical garden. Lalbaug is the centre of Ganeshotsav: Lalbaugcha Raja, installed here every year since 1934, draws the festival's longest queues. Byculla is on the Central Line, with Chinchpokli and Currey Road for Lalbaug and Dockyard Road on the Harbour Line for Mazgaon.
