A 200-year-old well that residents of IC Colony in Borivli found in 2017 has been revived, restored and beautified and was inaugurated on Sunday. This well has a stormwater drainage line that will resolve water shortage in the area.

The well was built in the 1800s by East Indian Catholics for a ceremony called 'Umbracha Paani' where families dance their way towards the local well and collect water from the well for bathing brides and bridegrooms.
