Borivali
Borivali (Pronunciation: [boːɾiʋəliː]) is a suburb located in northwestern Mumbai, India. Traditionally, tribals and East Indians lived in Borivali.
Attractions include Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Fish Park, Kanheri Caves, Mandapeshwar Caves, Water Kingdom, the Rushivan and Hanuman Tekdi with views of the suburbs.
Borivali railway station is an originating and terminating Railway Station for Mumbai Local Trains towards Churchgate in the South & Virar in the North. Also some express trains halt at this rail station which provides ease for people travelling long distances.
Borivali has a large population of Marathi people, followed by Gujarati people.
The names Borivaḻī (बोरिवळी) and Boriyli-gram occur as the name of a place in the 15th-17th century Marathi-language text Mahikavatichi Bakhar; these names derive from the a term for the Indian jujube tree (bor in Marathi).
The present-day Borivali has developed from what was once a congregate region of smaller settlments namely Eksar, Poisar, Vazira, Shimpoli, Mandpeshwar, Dattapada, Kanheri, Tulsi, Magathane and Gorai, which were situated on and around Mount Poinsur, between the Dahisar River and Poisar River.
The pre-historic era's "Mandpeshwar" (“An 8th Century remains of a beautiful Edifice structure, Mandapeshwar caves is a rock cut architecture and a Hindu shrine of lord Shiva located near Borivali IC Colony, at walking distance from Dahisar Railway Station”) and "Kanheri caves" stand testament to the rich history of this place. Borivali was spelt "Berewlee" by the then ruled India under the British Raj. It is also spelt and pronounced as "Borivli".
Borivali is densely populated but continues to retain some green cover due to the presence of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, previously known as the "Borivali National Park" in the east and the mangroves in the west end of Borivali.
