Descripción:: The region around Matharpacady was renowned for mango groves and paddy fields. As mentioned in the book “Bombay: The Cities Within”, in 1749, a portion of the paddy fields west of Mazagaon was leased to DN Rustamji and Dhanji Punja. Over time they came to be known as mhatre, meaning ‘respected elder’ in Marathi, thus the neighbourhood came to be known as Matharpacady, meaning “quarter of the elders”. The mango groves are now long gone but the green cover has survived in some parts.

Descripción:: Matharpacady has a network of lanes and alleys where children play games and have fun with neighborhood cats. The idyllic setting of the gaothan, away from the din and chaos of the city outside, is reminiscent of susegad, typical of the Goan culture. Derived from the Portuguese sossegado (meaning 'quiet'), it is used to describe the relaxed, laid-back attitude towards life that defined the lifestyle in the former Portuguese territory.

Descripción:: Matharpacady is a historic village (or gaothan in the local language) in Mazagaon, wedged between R. Naik Road and Champsi Bhimji Road. The Gaothan was settled by the East Indian community more than two centuries ago, or possibly even earlier. Over time, due to the original East Indians migrating to other parts of Mumbai and emigration to foreign countries, various other communities have moved in and made Matharpacady their home.

Descripción:: Typically, staircases are located on the outside. This saved space inside the houses and allowed independent access to tenants living on the first floor. Originally, balconies were open and had a wooden or metal balustrade running around. Over time, some balconies have been enclosed with metal grilles fitted from outside, which allow the space to be utilized for storing plants or serve as an extension of the living quarters.
