In 2022, senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ameet Satam was front and centre at an event at a space tucked deep inside a Juhu Koliwada lane ahead of Holy Cross Church. The land/open space was the venue for a coconut breaking ceremony, signalling the beginning of a community project. Now, 3.5 years later, Sunday evening witnessed the inauguration of The East Indian Bhavan, also housing the Kaka Joseph Baptista East Indian Theme Garden and Museum on the same space, making this a community complex.

While the inauguration happened last evening, the garden and Bhavan will be open for the public by June, with a definite date to be established by the Mobai Gaothan Panchayat (MGP).
