While the city is preparing for one of its largest festive celebrations, The Asiatic Society of Mumbai’s new series of lectures will explore the diversity of religious spaces in the crowded metropolis of Mumbai. Titled The Geography of Belief, the series features a combination of 10 sessions and walks that explore the colourful tapestry of religion that inhabit Mumbai’s spaces.

“Each lecture is associated with a particular walk that explores the city’s religious spaces. We are looking at eight mainstream religions, one indigenous and also, the street itself as a sacred space,” shared Dr Shehernaz Nalwalla, vice-president, The Asiatic Society of Mumbai.
