Description
Like most suburbs in Mumbai, Bhandup is one of the oldest suburbs in Mumbai. Bhandup is also home to Shivaji Talao, or Shivaji Lake, named after the great Maratha ruler, Chhatrapati Shivaji. The pond witnesses hordes of Ganapati devotees immersing idols of the elephant god during the August–September month.
Bhandupeshwar Kundh is another place in Bhandup Village East where the pond witnesses hordes of Ganapati devotees immersing idols of the elephant god during the August–September month which is near by Eastern Express Highway.
Before real estate prospered 40 years ago, Bhandup was a dense forest area, which gradually saw the growth of industrialization with numerous set ups of industries, and now is becoming a very prominent destination for real estate investors, as it has a lot of opportunity of a further growth.
Bhandup has Asia's biggest water filtration plant at Bhandup complex.
Kanjurmarg and Nahur (Eastern sections) almost blend into Bhandup on two ends and do not really have clear demarcations as such.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
