The annual Kala Ghoda Festival is a celebration of arts and crafts held in the Kala Ghoda area near the Jehangir Art Gallery of South Mumbai, India in October. It is a prelude to the bigger festival that will take place in February.
Kala Ghoda is a magnet for creative talent; artists, architecture buffs, fashion designers and food connoisseurs. The Kala Ghoda festival hopes to be a catalyst for the revival of art across Mumbai. It brings together the works of artists in the fields of art, craft, dance, music, theatre and films to present a vibrant cultural show. This fair is greatly looked forward to every year by lovers of arts and crafts, and this place becomes a colorful carnival of talent.
The Kala Ghoda Area
The festival owes its name to the area of Kala Ghoda, which in English means Black Horse. Long ago, in the centre of the large node on Esplanade Road, Mumbai, stood a statue of King Edward VIII astride a black horse. Though this relic of a colonial past has been moved elsewhere, and the road renamed as Mahatma Gandhi Road, the Mumbaikars still refer to the area as Kala Ghoda.
