Bazaar Gate Street:
or the area from Bori Bunder to Horniman Circle, is named after one of the three Fort gates. It was situated at the north end of the street, leading into the old Fort. This gate had two smaller gates, known to the natives as Teen Duwarza. The gate was pulled down in 1862 but the street name stands!

Bhuleshwar (Kalbadevi Road to Girgaum area):
Bhuleshwar is from the name of the individual who built the temple and gave money for the consecration ceremony. The temple was built by a local Koli, or fisherman, who was wealthy but had no progeny. His name was Bhula, or Bhulya, and so the God was called Bhuleshwar by the officiating priests who were the hereditary Yajurvedic Brahmans of Bombay!

Bhendi Bazaar:
The origin of the name is that during the British Raj, the British residing to the south of Crawford Market in Fort, referred to this area to the north of Crawford Market as “Behind the Bazaar”. The natives picked this as ‘Bhendi Bazaar’!!
