The beach is noted for its Ganesh Visarjan celebrations when thousands of people from all over Mumbai and Pune come to immerse the idols of Lord Ganesh in the Arabian Sea. It is also one of the many places in the city where the 'RAMLILA' is performed on a stage every year. An effigy of Ravan erected on the sand is burnt at the end of the 10-day performance. One can find several bhelpuri, panipuri, ragda patties and pav bhaji vendors on the beach.[1] On the road running along the beach, the lone surviving terrorist of the 26/11 attacks, Ajmal Kasab, was caught and arrested. A bronze statue of Tukaram Omble, the policeman who helped arrest Kasab, was erected on 26{{nbsp}}November 2009 EtymologyChowpatty is really Chau-pati (four channels or four creeks) as per (Bombay City Gazetteer, I. 27). This name is analogous to that of Satpaty, a village in the Mahim Taluka of the Thane District, which is approached through a Channel or Creek, containing seven divisions of water. PollutionThe water surrounding the beach is heavily polluted, and swimming should be avoided. Fecal coliform was recorded in the water in 2013 at levels of 1455 per 100 mL, far above the acceptable standard of 500 per 100 mL. The presence of fecal coliform in the water has been attributed to waste from storm drains, open defecation, and the discharge of raw sewage from sewer pipes not connected to the city mains.[2] On 30 August 2016, the sand on the beach is said to be turning black due to a possible oil slick in the area. The specific cause of the blackening is unknown.[3] ImagesReferences1. ^{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Alls-bhel-that-ends-well/articleshow/87293494.cms|date=26 October 2001|title=All's bhel that ends well |newspaper=The Times of India |accessdate=5 July 2018}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/environment/pollution/Mumbais-coastal-waters-go-from-bad-to-worse/articleshow/23490494.cms |title=Mumbai's coastal waters go from bad to worse |newspaper=The Times of India |date=4 October 2013 | first=Clara | last=Lewis |accessdate=5 July 2018}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-oil-slick-at-girgaum-beach-leaves-activists-2250165|title=Why the sand at Mumbai's famous Girgaum chowpatty is turning black {{!}} Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis|date=2016-08-30|language=en-US|access-date=2016-08-30}} 3. http://www.maharashtratourism.gov.in/MTDC/HTML/MaharashtraTourism/Default.aspx?strpage=../MaharashtraTourism/CitiestoVisits/Mumbai/MumbaiAttractions.html External links{{commons category}}{{Tourist attractions in Mumbai}}{{Mumbai-geo-stub}} 1 : Beaches of Mumbai |
