Girgaon culture is diverse and varied. Food, drama, and clothing is characterized by unity and continuity, despite having gone through many changes. Although there are different languages, religions, traditions, festivals and dress, the rich heritage of culture survives. The Girgaon residents, even today, are strongly influenced by the traditions and values of yesteryear despite the recent movement toward the west. The most popular residential sub-sector area has a growing demand precisely because of its location south of Bombay.

Girgaum is located at the foot of Malabar Hill. Khetwadi, originally an area with sparse population living on agriculture and plantations, developed in the mid 19th century. In 1839, Grant Road was completed, leading to a migration of people in this area.

There are many large and small temples in this area. The best known is Thakurdwara built by the ascetic Atmaram Baba, who died in 1838. The Kalbadevi temple dedicated to Kali, was moved to its current location from its original location in Mahim during the reign of the Gujrati Sultans. The Dady Sett Agiary was built in 1783, the Fire Temple in 1839 Hormusji Wadia.

Located on the southern tip of Mumbai, Girgaon is turning into a demanding residential and commercial location because of its geographical position.

Each residing community such as the Gujaratis, Parsis, Hindus celebrate different festivals, follow indigenous patterns of birth, marriage, death and other important events. Therefore, it is easy to feel different from other communities in  Girgaon.
