In der Indian Premier League trägt es ebenfalls einzelne Spiele der Mumbai Indians und Rajasthan Royals aus. Internationales Cricket Nachdem der erste Test in Mumbai im Bombay Gymkhana ausgetragen wurde, übernahm nach der Erbauung des Brabourne Stadium dieses die Austragung des internationalen Crickets. Der erste Test wurde 1948 auf der Tour der West Indies gegen Indien ausgetragen. Bis 1973 wurden so 17 Tests ausgetragen, bis es zwischen dem Cricket Club of India und der Bombay Cricket Association zum Streit über die Verteilung der Tickets bei internationalen Spielen kam. Der Verband baute daraufhin sein eigenes Stadion, das Wankhede Stadium, dass seitdem die Austragung internationaler Spiele übernahm. Erst 1989 wurde wieder internationales Cricket bei der MRF World Series 1989/90 hier gespielt. In der Folge wurden im Brabourne Stadium vermehrt Tour Matches bestritten. Bei der ICC Champions Trophy 2006 richtete das Stadion fünf Spiele inklusive des Finales aus. In 2009 wurde bei der Tour Sri Lankas wieder ein Test ausgetragen. Auch beim Women’s Cricket World Cup 2013 wurden hier einige Partien ausgetragen. Andere Nutzung Das Stadion wird auch Konzerte und Events genutzt. In den angeschlossenen Tenniseinrichtungen wurde 2006 und 2007 das ATP Mumbai ausgetragen. 1955 war es Austragungsort eines Fußball-Freundschaftsspiels zwischen Indien und der Sowjetunion.

Banganga Tank

The Banganga Tank is a temple tank which is part of the Hindu Walkeshwar Temple complex in the Malabar Hill area of the city of Mumbai, India. History The tank was built in AD 1127 by Lakshman Prabhu, a minister in the court of Silhara kings of Thane. It was rebuilt in 1715, funded by a donation from Rama Kamath. The main temple has since been reconstructed and is now a reinforced concrete structure of recent construction. Banganga in history According to local legend, the temple sprang forth when Rama, the exiled hero of the epic Ramayana, stopped at the spot in search of his kidnapped wife, Sita. As the legend goes, overcome with fatigue and thirst, Rama asked his brother Lakshmana to bring him some water. Lakshmana instantly shot an arrow into the ground, and water gushed forth from the ground, creating a tributary of the Ganges, which flows over a thousand miles away – hence its name, Banganga, ie the Ganga created by a baan (arrow). The Banganga also houses the Shri Kashi Math and Shri Kaivalya/Kavale Math of the Goud Saraswat Brahmins on its banks, including samadhis of the maths’ past heads. The area also has a Hindu cremation ground which after 2003 received a makeover to house a gas crematorium. The area still has an old Hindu cemetery consisting of samadhi shrines of various advaitin gurus, such as Siddharameshwar Maharaj (1888–1936) and his disciple, Ranjit Maharaj (1913–2000), Nisaragdatta Maharaj(1897-1981), Bhainath Maharaj ( Present day The tank today is a rectangular pool structure surrounded by steps on all four sides. At the entrance are two pillars in which diyas (oil lamps) were lit in ancient times. The tank, as well as the main Walkeshwar Temple and the Parshuram Temple, belong to the Goud Saraswat Temple Trust, which once owned most of the property in the complex. Many Goud Saraswat Brahmin families (Rege, Anaokar, Mulgaonkar, Kenkre, Sakhardande, Sukthankar, Keni, Marudkar, Naik, Wartikar, Warerkar, Bidikar, Bhende, Prabhawalkar, Pagnis) still reside in the Temple Trust buildings in the complex. The tank is spring-fed; thus its water remains sweet, despite being located only a few dozen meters away from the sea. Apart from being a cultural hub, the place over the years has provided inspiration to many artists, be it on film or on canvas. In November, during Dev Diwali, a huge crowd of people light lamps at the Banganga tank, featuring bhajans and spiritual chants, dances and placing lamps (diyas) around the tank.

El templo principal se ha reformado desde entonces y en la actualidad es una estructura de hormigón armado de reciente construcción. Banganga en la mitología Según la leyenda local, el estanque surgió cuando el Señor Ram, el héroe exiliado de la épica Ramayana, se detuvo en el lugar en busca de su esposa secuestrada, Sita.​ Cuenta la leyenda que, abrumado por la fatiga y la sed, Rama le pidió a su hermano Lakshmana que le trajera un poco de agua. Lakshmana disparó una flecha en la tierra, y el agua brotó de ella, creando así un afluente del Ganges, que fluye a más de mil millas de distancia, de ahí su nombre, Banganga, el Ganges creado en un Baan (flecha).

The mosque is a Monument of National Importance, and, together with other structures, is part of the Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is among the 114 monuments there which are listed by the Baroda Heritage Trust. It is situated on the western side of one of the ancient city's fort gates. History The mosque is named after Bawaman (or Bava Man), who was revered as a saint in Baroda. Bawaman was a follower of Sadan Shah, whose tomb is enshrined within the Kalika Mata Temple at the summit of Pavagadh Hill, which is also within the Archaeological Park. The mosque was built in Champaner during the time of Mahmud Begada, as were several other mosques within the Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park, including the Jama, Kevada, Lila Gumbaj Ki, and Nagina mosques, and the Ek Minar, Khajuri, and Shahar Ki mosques. While many structural elements are worn or damaged, in 1985 the Archaeological Survey of India reported that restoration work was in progress, such as the removal of dead lime concrete material from the roof, as well as the reset of loose stones in the arches. ASI reported in 2006 that extensive restoration works of many heritage monuments were carried out at the Bawana Mosque and also at the Jama Masjid, fort walls, Kevada Masjid, Lila Gumbaj Ki Masjid, Sikandar Shah Tomb and Sikander tomb, which resulted in a slight increase in tourist traffic to the sites. ASI had spent Rs 2.25 crores on the conservation activity in a four-year period and a further Rs 1.15 crores was allotted for more restoration works at the sites. A follow-up report in 2009 described extensive conservation work subsequent to earthquake damage. Architecture Built on a raised platform with a high plinth, its features include a minaret which stands out above the trees, three large domes, three mihrabs on the rear wall, and three arched entrances. There are also ablution tanks close to the building.
