531. Matharpacady-24.jpg
- Description:
- Ladies strike a conversation on the veranda at Keep Sake, 20 Matharpacady (built in 1928). The tightly spaced bungalows enable residents to interact with each other and socialize on the veranda. The long veranda is a typical feature of Koli villages where the open space at the front is used to repair fishing nets. This common characteristic is also seen in the bungalows of the East Indian community, whose ancestors were Kolis and other native communities before they were converted to Catholicism.

534. Matharpacady-26.jpg
- Description:
- The Holy Cross Oratory is the most notable religious landmark in Matharpacady. This small chapel was built on land donated by Mrs Buthello and constructed in response to a devastating plague that struck the city in 1875 (another plague struck in 1896). The residents came together to collectively build the chapel, praying for the plague to spare the village. Miraculously, not a single death occurred at Matharpacady in the plague and the community has maintained the tradition of holding yearly feasts, now in its 148th year.

538. Matharpacady-18.jpg
- Description:
- Despite its proximity to the sea, Mazagaon had an abundant freshwater supply. Wells were the only sources of drinking water before tap water was made available inside homes. This is the central well of Matharpacady, located in a circle known as Brahmin Chawl. This was the only source of fresh water in the past but is no longer used and remains covered up. Other than this public well, there were also private wells inside houses.
