- Description:
- Historically, Koli women used to sell fish caught from nearby water bodies like the Mithi River. Today, most of these water bodies are either heavily polluted or have been developed over, making the fishing business unsustainable. The majority of fish sold in local markets now comes from wholesale markets in South Mumbai.

- Description:
- This road in Kandivli village used to be a maidan (playground) until 1985. Ramnath Keny fondly recalls spending hours on this ground playing kabaddi with his friends. However, the landscape has transformed over the years, and the open space is now a traffic intersection surrounded by high-rise buildings.

- Description:
- While the Kolis traditionally engaged in fishing or fishing-related businesses, not all members of the community continue these practices in modern times. Pragna Keni comes from a family that sells flowers outside a temple. Despite being part of the Koli community, neither she nor her family have ever been involved in trading or fishing activities.
