Street Art of Bandra Transforming the face of the Mumbai!

Street art in Bandra is literally exploring and each road and corner is now filled by these beautiful, colourful and impactful icons. After writing in detail about Street Art in Pune and Matheran this year, I have fallen head over heels with this art form and capture it wherever I can.

I was in Bandra recently and loved each one of these and more. Here is a photo-story with more images and less words - exactly how it should be with Street Art.

  3. Street art is a great way of expressing public voice in a very tasteful and attractive manner. I used to stay in Bandra some 4 years back and I hardly saw such work. I loved each one of them!
