Kala Ghoda, Arts district in South Mumbai, India.

The neighborhood features Victorian and Gothic buildings, including museums, art galleries, educational centers, and historic landmarks along its crescent-shaped area.

The district received its name from a black stone statue of King Edward VII on horseback, installed by Albert Abdullah David Sassoon and relocated to Byculla Zoo in 1965.

The Kala Ghoda Arts Festival in February presents exhibitions, performances, workshops, and cultural activities that highlight Indian creativity through diverse art forms.

Visitors can explore multiple art institutions, including Jehangir Art Gallery, National Gallery of Modern Art, and numerous exhibition spaces that showcase contemporary Indian artists.

The Esplanade Mansion within the district stands as India's first cast iron building, where the initial film screening in the country occurred in 1896.
