541. Matharpacady-20.jpg
- Description:
- Kudd in the Konkani language means 'room'. In the 1950s Matharpacady housed dozens of kudds, which catered to expatriate Goans working as sailors or in the dockyard in and around Mazagaon. Kudds offered them a home away from home. However, migration from Goa declined with its integration with India in 1960 and the rise of tourism from the 1980s. Many kudds have closed due to a fall in occupancy and the ones remaining are run-down. Seen here, at the end of the street, is the Paroda kudd, at 21/B Matharpacady.

This is among the rare shops inside Matharpacady, which is otherwise entirely a residential zone.
