About MMWA

Rooted in Mahakali area of Andheri East, Mumbai, MMWA was founded with a shared purpose: to create a warm, vibrant home-away-from-home for Bengali families living in and around the neighborhood. Led entirely by an all-women executive committee, our association blends deep cultural preservation with purposeful social welfare. From bringing the rhythmic beat of the dhak and traditional festivity to Mumbai streets, to supporting young girls through education and community outreach, MMWA stands as a testament to female leadership and collective cultural pride.

The Mahakali area has developed as a large domesticated area in the western suburb of Mumbai. Its demography is diverse, starting from middle class to upper middle-class population as also some people controlling MSME businesses. The area is fully encompassed by industries and corporate offices, a large number of them being located in the MIDC (Andheri East) and SEEPZ. Celebration of Durga Puja is growing every year in Mumbai. Our Puja Pandal being located right on the arterial Mahakali Caves Road, the footfall expected in the MMWA pandal will be around 5000 to 6000 each day. A large portion of this crowd consists of young corporate professionals working across technology, management, and finance sectors and are in the mid to high income group.

MMWA also has a plan to initiate social initiatives to encourage underprivileged, specifically girl children, from the neighbouring areas pursue their education by motivating them and by providing financial help as needed.

We sincerely hope to have you as our guest in the pandal of MMWA during the Durga Puja.
