Mumbai's historic Bhendi Bazaar, known for its bustling market and narrow streets, has a name origin debated by experts. Chef Ranveer Brar suggests the name derives from the British referring to the area as 'behind the bazaar' due to its location behind Crawford Market, which was shortened by locals. Alternatively, Advocate Zubair Azmi proposes the name might be a corruption of 'Bhandi Bazaar,' referencing a historical potter community that manufactured utensils in the area.
