If you take a stroll down Kashibai Navrange Marg in Gamdevi, you'll come across Saraswat Cooperative Housing Society (SCHS), which houses a cluster of six buildings. Established in 1915, it is Asia's oldest such society, largely occupied by Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmins, a community traditionally living along the coast of Karnataka.
