Mumbai: Bandra locals organise virtual Xmas event to bring cheer
Updated On: 20 December, 2020 07:29 AM IST | Mumbai | Jane Borges
Attend a carol night, listen to forgotten Xmas stories, and jive along with Bandraites, who are bringing festive cheer right to people's homes.

Organisers of A Very Bandra Christmas have been planning the event for the last three months
Irish filmmaker Paul Power lives in Dublin, but he has always had a soft spot for Bandra-the place his mother-in-law hailed from. The Christmas traditions here, far removed from his own, have continued to fascinate him, compelling him to make a short home video on it. The two minute-film shows a group of women-young and old-sitting around a dining table, flattening tiny balls of dough on red paddles, before giving them a gentle curl. Power has captured the making of kulkuls, a Goan and Mangalorean fried pastry bite, which is part of the traditional kuswar platter served during Christmas. The video was recently shared on the Facebook page of A Very Bandra Christmas, which for the last nine days has been bringing the Xmas cheer to people's homes.
