Explanation

Bandra's name derives from 'Bandar' in Persian, meaning port or harbor, reflecting its history as a coastal trading settlement under Portuguese rule. The Marathi 'Vandre' and Persian 'Bandar' share this etymological root. Bandra was indeed an important port area in historical Mumbai (formerly Bombay), unlike beaches or docks which are different geographical features.
