Umarkhadi

Umarkhadi is a historic neighborhood located in South Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.[1][2][3]

It is situated near Byculla and Pydhone. This area is densely populated and culturally diverse. It was formerly an independent Assembly Constituency of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. Following a delimitation process in 2008, the constituency was abolished and merged into the Mumbadevi Assembly constituency.

The name is derived from a creek (khadi) that once separated the island of Bombay from the island of Mazagaon. The area has a children's home, named Children's Aid Society.[4]
