Located between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Fort of South Mumbai, Ballard Estate is a business district in Mumbai known for stately colonial architecture like Grand Hotel, Port Trust War Memorial, Hamilton Studios, Neville House, Scindia House, Ballard Bunder, and so on. It is ideal for street and candid photography, especially in the early morning because of the golden sunshine and the less crowd on the streets.
Ballard Estate always gives me some very photogenic moments to capture. It truly depicts the grandeur and heritage of Mumbai. I hope the Covid-19 allows us to move freely in our cities again and you get a chance to visit Ballard Estate very soon for photography.
How to Reach – You can go to Ballard Estate directly by road. By train, the nearest railway station is Churchgate Station on the western line or CSMT on the central or harbour line. Then take a cab or bus from the station to reach Ballard Estate. The BEST buses that go to Ballard Estate are 3, 66, 108, and 122.

बॅलार्ड इस्टेटने अद्याप कोलिनिअल लूक जतन केला आहे.
आणि तेथे पोहोचण्याचा सर्वात सोयीचा आणि किफायतशीर मार्ग असल्याने बेस्ट बसचा फोटो दाखवणेही सयुक्तिक आहे.
very nice article about this district! I like your street photography, the photos are very nice but also very real.
Which camera equipment do you use to take them? I guess you like street photography, what does it inspire more about that?

Thank you so much for your kind words! I love photographing my city, Mumbai, with my Nikon D5300. I want the world to know how beautiful India is. I will definitely introduce myself. Sorry I am new and didn’t know about that. Thank you for your handy tips! Have a great day.
खूप सुंदर फोटो आहेत… बल्लार्ड इस्टेट स्ट्रीट फोटोग्राफी साठी उत्तम जागा आहे. छान फोटोस क्लीक केले आहेत तुम्ही. इथे शेअर केल्याबद्दल धन्यवाद. तसेच तुमचे Connect मध्ये स्वागत आहे @agarwalsonika …
Welcome to Connect, @agarwalsonika - what a better time to catch these photos than the morning. The lighting is fantastic and I like how you used it to focus on the subjects in the photo in front of Hamilton Studios. The architecture and shading reminds me of some spots of the Coconut Grove neighborhood in Miami. Looking forward to more of your photos!
