Discover Ranwar Village Bandra through the Time Capsul Walk

A Walk into Memory

Mumbai’s Bandra holds pockets of nostalgia, none more so than Ranwar Village Bandra. Through the time capsul walking tour, Urbanaut invites you to experience this charming hamlet, its heritage architecture, vibrant walls, and communal spirit, preserved in the city’s heartbeat. If you are a host, you can also list events for free on Urbanaut by visiting the list-your-experience-online page. That small note means anyone can create their own immersive experience, just like this one.

What the Time Capsul Walk Offers

Time capsul is more than a tour. Starting at Mehboob Studios, the experience meanders through the narrow lanes of ranwar village bandra, offering glimpses into stories immortalised in crumbling walls, quiet crosses, and heritage houses. It is hosted by Sunny Amlani, part marketer, part storyteller, who has spent years documenting Bombay’s neighbourhoods through immersive walks and photography.

Participants get complimentary snacks during the walk and free entry to the Capsul sound session, a live gig by producer and DJ Zokhuma, closing the evening on a sensory high. It is a blend of walk, drink, eat, and community narration that captures Bandra’s memory, mood, and reinvention.

The Heritage and Charm of Ranwar Village Bandra

Ranwar Village Bandra carries centuries of history. It dates back to at least 1716 and is one of the original pakhadis of Bandra, founded during Portuguese rule. The village exhibits Indo-Portuguese architecture with wooden porches, gabled roofs, and ornate balconies that speak of colonial influences.

Veronica Street runs through the heart of the village, lined with murals courtesy of the Bollywood Art Project that complement old-world charm with contemporary creativity. At the center lies Ranwar Square, home to a stone cross erected in 1866, a historical gathering spot and symbol of communal tradition.

There is also a concerted effort to preserve this heritage. Plans are underway for a “facelift” that includes pedestrian walkways, better street lighting, signage, and limited vehicle access, aimed at protecting the character of Ranwar Village Bandra.
