Why Chaupaati?
In Marathi, Chau = Four, Paati = Plank. Chaupaati is a plank that rests on four legs. Was it the pier at the beach that rested on four legs; was it the four-legged Chaarpai that serves as the resting means for many Indians; was it the Marathi adaptation of Chaupal - the village gathering place? Whatever the origin, Indians in Maharashtra know Chaupaati as ‘the beach’, and Indians outside Maharashtra know Chaupaati as ‘that beach in Mumbai’. We, at Chaupaati, know it as an open public place that welcomes one and all; a place that presents new horizons; a beachhead into the open seas; a place where you can leave your footprints in the sands of time. Here’s an image of Juhu Chaupaati, within a mile of our office.
Holi Waters - Mumbai - Mar 2008, originally uploaded by righthalf.
A million mutinies converge. A myriad tongues scream. Plural colors dip into singular waters. Mumbai swarms the coastline to create a buzz that will intoxicate one and all. This is Chaupaati.
