BHIKA BEHRAM WELL. MUMBAI. The Parsi community may not be the biggest in terms of numbers, but when it comes to culture and heritage they have plenty to offer. The Bhika Behram Well in Fort, a Grade I heritage structure, is one such monument. The vast expanse of Cross Maidan was a matter of concern for travellers who came there during the summer season. It is to address this concern that a prominent Parsi named Bhikaji, who had come from Bharuch, dug this fresh water well. Situated at the southern end of Cross Maidan, near the Central Telegraph Office, it first opened to travellers in 1725. The pavilion was added in the 1950s. The well and its stone canopy are decorated with beautiful stained glass. —
