Haji Ali Mosque is a Mosque literally IN the sea off Mumbai. The narrow 500 meter long walk to the Mosque can be done by anyone, but only Muslims can go inside. I was literally the only Caucasian and was getting many stares. It was such a great experience and site to see. Truly amazing. SO many people walk everyday out to the Mosque. There are lots of store along the way, and so many beggers (mostly deformed ones of lonely children). It was sad, but truly amazing.
1. The Mosque, and the long, crowded walk ahead of us (p.s. notice the boat -- it is low tide. You cannot do the walk if it is high tide, too dangerous)
2. GOATS
3. Flowers! and other items for sale to give to the Gods once inside as an offering
