Gowalia Tank
The name Gowalia Tank comes from the Marathi word Gaie (cow) Wala (owner of the cattle). Gowalia Tank was initially used to bathe cows in the tank’s water. It was also a prominent tram terminus. Later a maidan was built over the tank, which still exists underground. On 8th August, 1942, Mahatma Gandhi issued the ‘Quit India Speech’ in the maidan, which is a popular playground today.
