During the British rule, bombil, a fish found exclusively on the west coast of India, would be relished by Bengalis. The catch would be transported to Calcutta from Bombay via the Bombay Mail (Daak in Bengali) train. The fish was soon known as Bombay Daak, which later converted to the popular colloquial, Bombay duck. A unique art walk curated for children by Art and Wonderment in collaboration with The Heritage Project will bring alive such stories of the city and the Koli culture through murals drawn on the walls across the seaside hamlet, Worli Koliwada.
