With the new date confirmed, the city is set to witness streets filled with rainbow flags, music, and messages advocating equality, visibility, and human rights
The annual march carries forward a legacy that began in 2008, when Mumbai hosted its first organised pride rally, a landmark moment that strengthened queer visibility and rights discourse in India
The streets were transformed into a vibrant canvas of colours, as participants carried rainbow flags, creative posters, and banners that expressed their personal stories and messages of love, acceptance, and visibility
Many donned bright and elaborate outfits, colourful makeup, and accessories that reflected their unique identities, turning the march into both a celebration and a powerful statement of individuality
