WR to mark Bandra's 160th anniv with heritage theme
From heritage walks and photo exhibits to vlog-making and art competitions, the mahotsav promises to blend nostalgia with community participation. The event, being hosted across June and July, is part of WR's efforts to celebrate the station's legacy and its emotional connect with generations of Mumbaikars.
WR's chief public relations officer Vineet Abhishek said, "The celebration will kick off with the release of a commemorative postal stamp and a vibrant cultural performance showcasing local talent.
The station has also been given a facelift, with aesthetic enhancements to reflect its architectural grandeur."
"The mahotsav is an invitation to relive history," Abhishek said. "Bandra station is not just a commuter hub—it's a living memory for the city."
As part of the community connect, WR is inviting entries for 3 competitions—art and craft, vlog making, and purani yaadein—the last being a nostalgia project where commuters can share photos, videos or voice clips capturing their memories of the station.
All entries will be showcased at the station on July 13 and on WR's social media handles.
A specially curated light-and-sound show and a photo exhibition will be held on July 5 and 6, chronicling the evolution of the station and its role in shaping the city's urban narrative. Interviews with rail enthusiasts and city historians will also be featured.
The event will conclude on July 27 with a felicitation of contest winners and participants. Entry forms and competition details are available via links and QR codes shared on @WerMumbai (Instagram) and @MumbaiWR (Facebook). Participants are encouraged to use hashtags like #StationMahotsav and #BandraStation in their posts. Opened in 1864 and its building constructed in 1888, Bandra is a Grade I heritage structure.
Its Victorian Gothic design mixed with vernacular elements continues to turn heads.

Karan Johar once asked Abhishek Bachchan if he was torn between Jaya Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, his reply was...
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have consistently enchanted their fans with their timeless love story in Bollywood. Their connection, family interactions, and the keys to their robust relationship remain subjects of intrigue. A notable insight into their initial married life was shared during their guest appearance on Karan Johar's well-known talk show, 'Koffee With Karan.' What did Karan Johar ask Abhishek Bachchan? In a memorable episode of Koffee With Karan, host Karan Johar posed a playful yet probing question to Abhishek Bachchan: Did he ever feel caught between the three significant women in his life, his mother, his sister, and his wife? The inquiry, delivered with Johar's characteristic flair, elicited a moment of levity and introspection, to which Aishwarya, seated beside Abhishek, responded with a witty remark, highlighting the unique dynamics of familial relationships. The actress, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, replied in fast pace and said, 'Only time the wife would be called the other woman as you said it,' turning the conversation into a light-hearted exchange. Abhishek, acknowledging the strength and harmony among the women in his life, credited them for maintaining balance within the family. He noted that his mother and wife share a close bond, often discussing everything together, which has been instrumental in fostering a supportive household. Abhishek said, 'I think credit has to be given entirely to the girls. I have very little to do with it. What also works is that Maa and she (Aishwarya) are very close. They talk about everything. When a woman first comes to her husband's house, she feels a bit out of place, evidently and obviously. I think the only person who can truly fill that void is her mother-in-law.' More about Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Abhishek and Aishwarya's romantic journey took a beautiful turn with the arrival of their daughter Aaradhya in 2011. They are frequently spotted together at various events, always accompanied by Aaradhya. Be it award ceremonies or family vacations, it's evident that they cherish their time together as a family.
