Maheshwari Udyan, Mumbai

Maheshwari Udyan is a park in Matunga, Mumbai. It was originally known as King's Circle (until 1962). It was named after George V, the King-Emperor. Morarji Desai, then Union Finance minister of India, laid the foundation stone on 3 February 1962 to commemorate the name change. The former name of the park lends its name to King's Circle station of Harbour line of Mumbai suburban railway. The area surrounding the park is still called King’s Circle by locals. The part of the road that leads to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus was originally called Vincent Road. It was later changed to Dr. Ambedkar Road. King's Circle station and Matunga railway station are next to each other, the former on the Harbour Line and the latter on the Central Line.

King's Circle is also central to places such as Koliwada, Wadala or Vadala, Sion, Dadar and C.G.S. Colony (Antop Hill). It also features the popular restaurant Mysore cafe.
