September 2006, from the [tag]Gavdevi[/tag] Temple at Bhopar Village on the outskirts of my hometown, [tag]Dombivli[/tag]
Dombivli or [tag]Dombivali[/tag] is a suburb of Mumbai on the Central line. It has a population of about 1,193,000 (2001 census, provisional results). It is the first fully literate town in Maharashtra and the second in India. Dombivli is a predominantly Marathi speaking middle class city….
Sunset behind the Parsik hill where the [tag]Mumbra[/tag] devi temple is located. In a few minutes the path to the temple should be illuminated, and it looks like a bright serpant on the hill.

Finally, a goods train chugging silently:
The main [tag]Mumbai[/tag] suburban rail tracks are not visible in these pictures.

↵Thanks for your visits to my blog. I will try to give some kind of answer to your question concerning the Paris vineyard.
I had a quick look on your site and blog. Looks very professional and interesting. I will come back and have a closer look, when I find some more time (soonest)!
↵Dombivli chaanach aahe!!! pan kiti gardi tithe.. aavraa..
↵Didn’t know about the literacy factor of Dombivli before! I hail from Ghatkopar in Mumbai…
What I do remember about Dombivli is:
↵1. It was as crowded as Ghatkopar
2. It was the station chosen by that adventurous guy (whose name I don’t recollect – was it Dhananjay something?) to jump off from the Deccan Queen as it was sprinting from Pune to Mumbai…:-)
Ive been to dombivili so often …it doesnt look half as pretty as your pics …but there issomething abt mumbai,no matter what people say
