Explore interesting facets that go back all the way to the origins of Bombay at a walk inside one of Fort's oldest landmarks
St Thomas Cathedral
Two months ago, the organising committee of St Thomas Cathedral had decided to kick-start its tercentenary celebrations with a heritage walk. The response was encouraging, with participants from the city as well as tourists signing up for it. Now, buoyed by the response from that walk, a second edition will be held this Saturday.
Like the earlier walk, Reverend Avinash Rangayya, presbyter-in-charge at the cathedral, will play guide and lead the group. The two-hour session will put the spotlight on historic treasures and footnotes that lie inside the 300-year-old church that was opened on Christmas Day in 1718. "The trail will culminate in a climb to the top of the steeple where participants will get a chance to view the majestic bell tower and a stunning view of South Mumbai," adds Dr Kamal Jadhav, PR-in-charge, tercentenary celebrations.

"The previous walk received a terrific response due to the in-depth knowledge of the Reverend. Hence, we decided to announce a second one, and with the monsoon hitting the city, it made sense to continue it indoors," she explains.
