Twilight At Chowpatty

Chowpatty is one of the most famous public beaches adjoining Marine Drive in the Girgaum area of Mumbai, India. The beach is famous for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations and the samadhi of Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, who was creamated here.

Chowpatty is really Chau-pati (four channels or four creeks) as per (Bombay City Gazetteer). This name is analogous to that of Satpaty, a village in the Mahim Taluka of the Thana District, which is approached through a Channel or Creek, containing seven divisions of water.
