Detailed Description

Mumbai is a recent development. The history of Mumbai can be traced up to 400 years. Gorai's residents are Katch migrants who arrived around 500 years ago. They came here and settled here. They have a strong Katchean cultural foundation because they migrated from Katch. The culture is related to their profession, fishing. Since their background is Hindu, we can see some traces of Hindu culture and traditions in the lives of these people.
